PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
High Speed 2 Line: North of England (6 January 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether it is Government policy that the High Speed 2 and Northern Powerhouse rail projects are not developed in isolation; and whether he plans to integrate those two schemes.

Asked by:
Mike Kane (Labour)

High Speed Two is being developed in a way that supports the Northern Powerhouse to develop better connectivity between northern cities. The Command Paper High Speed Two: From Crewe to Manchester, the West Midlands to Leeds and beyond published in November 2016 sets this out in some detail.
