Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress she has made in implementing recommendations set out in the Stewart Review of HS2, published on 18 June 2025.

The James Stewart review made 89 recommendations across a number of themes. Four of these are complete and have been successfully implemented, all relating to the governance of the programme. The majority of the remaining recommendations are being implemented as part of the HS2 reset. HS2 Ltd will continue to work with and advise the Department on what is needed to complete the reset programme to deliver HS2 safely and at the lowest reasonable cost. Future updates on the reset and progress on implementation of the recommendations related to HS2 will be shared in the 6 monthly parliamentary report.
