Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will publish the interim recommendations of the Crossrail 2 Independent Affordability Review; and what his timeframe is for publishing the final recommendations of that review.

The Crossrail 2 Independent Affordability Review, chaired by Mike Gerrard, provided interim recommendations to the Secretary of State for Transport and Mayor of London this summer. This included recommendations for further work to ensure the scheme taken forward is affordable. This further work is currently being taken forward to inform the next steps for the project and complete the Review.

We intend to publish the Review’s findings in due course when we have fully completed the further work.
