	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2016 answer text <p>HS2 Ltd has calculated that Phase One of HS2 will require some 1.3 million tonnes (mt) of steel, principally delivered over the period 2020-2025. Phase Two is calculated to require a further 0.73 mt, mainly during the second half of the 2020s. This makes a total of 2.03 mt, over approximately 10 years.</p><p> </p><p>Included in the total are estimates of building components in stations, civil engineering structures such as bridges, viaducts, tunnels and walls, and also steel in rolling stock and railway track (rail, sleepers and slab track).</p><p> </p><p>It is too early for HS2 Ltd to be able to provide an indicative figure for the value of steel required.</p><p> </p><p>HS2 Ltd will not buy any steel directly. As with the rest of our construction materials, this will be procured by the supply chain. HS2 won’t need steel at bulk until after construction begins in 2017. HS2 provides an excellent opportunity for British businesses with 25,000 jobs created during construction and 3,000 when up and running.</p><p> </p><p>HS2 Ltd has hosted a number of events across the UK to make sure British firms are well-placed to compete for opportunities offered by HS2.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 21/11/2016 12:37:19 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2016 answer text <p>There is no individual or team in the Department solely dedicated to the support of the West Midlands Combined Authority. Supporting the West Midlands Combined Authority forms a part of the roles of a number of officials within the Department, including road, rail, HS2, local transport and analytical teams.
