Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Final Land Acquisition Boundary process for HS2 has been completed; and when he plans to publish those documents.

The Final Land Acquisition Boundary (FLAB) process is a fixed process undertaken over several months to determine and assure each individual land requirement in advance of a notice being served. It is a collaborative process between all key stakeholders including construction partners to review the Land Request requirements, review progress of actions against any known complex issues, and ensure compliance with Undertakings & Assurances and mitigation of risks.

It is an iterative process and will be ongoing as the HS2 programme progresses.
