Regular updates on HS2, including spend to date are provided in the HS2 six-monthly report to Parliament. The last report was published in June 2023 and the next one will be published in due course.

The Department is working with HS2 Ltd and its supply chain to assess the cost implications as a result of the cancellation of HS2 Phases 2a and 2b (both Western and Eastern Legs, including HS2 East).
