To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made an assessment of the effect on the economy in Broxtowe of the proposed route for HS2.
Answered by Nusrat Ghani
Whilst no specific assessment of the effect of HS2 on the economy of Broxtowe has taken place, I am aware that the East Midlands HS2 Growth Strategy, published by East Midlands Councils, reports that HS2 has the potential to deliver an additional 74,000 jobs and £4bn of Gross Value Added to East Midlands region by 2043.

Question
to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made an estimate of the cost of constructing a bored tunnel beneath Broxtowe for High Speed Two.
Answered by Nusrat Ghani
HS2 Ltd has considered a number of tunnel options in the East Midlands Hub area including those set out in the Working Draft Environmental Statement Alternatives Report. However, tunnel options in this area have not been progressed due to the significant length of the tunnel, significant cost impacts and flood risk. HS2 Ltd will continue to work with the local community to minimise the impact of HS2, including appropriate mitigation where necessary.

Question
to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made an estimate of the costs of constructing an underground High Speed Two East Midlands hub station at Toton Sidings.
Answered by Nusrat Ghani
Some of the tunnel options that have been looked at in the East Midlands Hub area included variants of a station, both at grade and below ground. Tunnel options in this area have not been progressed due to the significant length of the tunnel, significant cost impacts and flood risk. HS2 Ltd continues to refine the station design, taking into consideration the environment, cost and views of local stakeholders. The current station proposal has been well received by local leaders across the region.
