Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much of the work on the Tavistock to Plymouth rail line will come from (a) existing budgets and (b) reallocated HS2 budgets in 2024.

The early development stage of the project is covered by existing budgets under the Restoring Your Railway Programme. Progression into design and delivery will use reallocated HS2 funding, subject to business case approval.
