	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2024 answer text <p>The Government remains committed to delivering a privately financed HS2 Euston station as part of a transformed ‘Euston Quarter’ outlined in the Network North paper. The Department continues to define and develop a range of development models and financing mechanisms to best meet the objectives of the ‘Euston Quarter’, ensuring that funding is underpinned by contributions from those people and businesses this development supports. This includes consideration of options for using alternative funding to cover the section of HS2 from Old Oak Common to Euston. In the interim, certain activities and works to enable and realise the new Euston Quarter are being progressed with the support of some public funding, but with the intention of that funding being recouped later from private sources.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 13/05/2024 15:29:29 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
