Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made in implementing the recommendations of the Stewart Review on major transport projects governance and assurance, published on 18 June 2025.

The government accepted all 89 of James Stewart’s recommendations in June last year and is working on their full implementation. 31 recommendations have now been fully implemented. The Department, HS2 Ltd and other government partners are on track to fully implement the remaining recommendations, which are being addressed as part of the reset of the HS2 programme. This will be concluded by April 2027. Delivering the principles of the review will be an enduring endeavour for the lifetime of the HS2 programme and beyond to ensure that the learning is constantly applied to all relevant projects.
