Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether Great British Railways will assume responsibility for the construction of the tunnels between Old Oak Common and Euston, and if so, when.

HS2 Ltd is the non-departmental public body responsible for delivering the HS2 programme. This includes responsibility for HS2’s Main Works Civils Construction, which in turn includes the construction of all tunnelling between Old Oak Common and Euston. Great British Railways will not assume this responsibility.
