Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to extend the proposed HS2 railway to Liverpool to alleviate the possible increase in traffic caused by the post-Panamax facilities at the Port of Liverpool.
The Government is still considering plans for Phase Two of HS2, from Birmingham to the North, including proposals presented by Liverpool City Region. The Government will announce how it plans to take Phase Two forward later this year.
