Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will publish the national provenance of the steel used in the construction of HS2.
HS2 Ltd’s steel procurement data are published yearly by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
HS2 Ltd. works extensively with the British steel industry to ensure it is in the best position to compete for contracts to build Britain’s new high speed rail network. For example, 28 of the 29 reinforcement fabrication contracts have been awarded to UK-based companies.
