Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government why their six-monthly report on HS2 to Parliament, due a year after that dated 16 March 2022, is delayed; and when they expect to publish the next edition.

The last six monthly report on HS2 to Parliament was published in October 2022. April 2023 would have marked the six month point from the previous edition, but this was postponed due to external factors including recess, the pre-local election period and the King’s coronation. We remain committed to providing timely and transparent updates to Parliament and we aim to publish the next edition in the coming weeks.
