To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish the revised cost-to-benefit ratio analysis of his revised costings for the HS2 project.
Simon Burns
The Minister of State, Department for Transport
The Department and HS2 Ltd are undertaking an extensive programme of work to update the economic assessment for HS2 to reflect the latest evidence, research and understanding of the project; including revised costings. This work will inform the next update to the business case for HS2 and will be published later this year to support consultation on the Phase Two route and the deposit of the Hybrid Bill for Phase One.

The Review to which Simon Burns relates will, of course, come out in favour of HS2 and will have data to support this.
It is HS2 itself who are conducting this Review and they have a brief to deliver supporting evidence.
Yet another example of spin and bluster I'm afraid.
It needs investigating by a completely impartial review body. Lies , Damned lies and Statistics !
