answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2015 answer text <p>In developing the route alignment for HS2 Phase One a wide variety of suggestions have been considered from many different sources, including the Community Forums. The main local alternatives considered are described in the Environmental Statement published in November 2013. These can be found in section 2.6 in each of the Volume 2 Community Forum area reports. Given the scale of suggestions received it would not be possible or practical to identify those changes that are a direct result of the Community Forums alone.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 17/03/2015 15:36:01 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
