To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he expects to bring forward legislative proposals to enable the construction of the Eastern Leg of High Speed 2.

Mr Robert Goodwill

In November 2015, the Secretary of State for Transport provided an update to Parliament on our progress to deliver HS2. He reconfirmed the Government’s commitment to completing the full Y-shaped network by 2033. The Government will make a decision on the remainder of the Phase Two route, including the Eastern Leg, in autumn 2016, with a view to introducing a third hybrid Bill before the end of this Parliament.
