Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government when the review of HS2 by Mark Wild will be published.

On 19 May, the Secretary of State for Transport updated Parliament on the progress of the HS2 reset, alongside the publication of her latest parliamentary report.

In addition, the government published the initial findings of HS2 Ltd CEO Mark Wild’s review into the simplification of the railway’s operational specification, and his advice on the estimated cost of cancelling and remediating the programme.

As Mark Wild said before the TSC on 20 May, the HS2 reset will continue to progress and is planned to complete in Spring 2027 when the full delivery baseline is expected to be completed, a new commercial strategy to be implemented, and HS2 Ltd to be reshaped into a leaner, more skilled organisation.
