answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2017 answer text <p>The Chancellor’s Spending Review announcement in November 2015 set out an updated funding envelope of £55.7bn in 2015 prices for delivering the HS2 project. The envelope was previously £50.1bn in 2011 prices as set out in the 2013 Spending Round. The cost of building HS2 has not changed since the 2013 Spending Round, as the long-term funding envelope has simply been uprated to 2015 prices to take account of inflation. Cost estimates for specific sections of route were revised in accordance with these figures. We do not provide further funding breakdowns for specific items due to commercial sensitivities.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 22/02/2017 10:51:02 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2017 answer text <p>In developing proposals for HS2 before the 2013 consultation, HS2 Ltd published a large number of alternative routes in South Yorkshire (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/options-for-phase-two-of-the-high-speed-rail-network" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/options-for-phase-two-of-the-high-speed-rail-network</a>).</p><p> </p><p>Subsequently, HS2 Ltd has reviewed these and some other alternatives in preparing recommendations to the Secretary of State before the November 2016 Command Paper. The ‘M18’ route and the spur to Sheffield are two of these alternatives.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2017 answer text <p>In 2011, the Government consulted on the proposed strategy for a national high speed rail network. A decision to proceed with High Speed 2 was taken in January 2012 (Cm 8247). The total spend on High Speed 2 from the financial year 2009/10 to 2011/12 was £87.7 million.</p><p>Expenditure on HS2 from 2012/13 onwards is included in the long-term funding envelope for delivering HS2. The funding envelope was restated in 2015 prices in Spending Review 2015 at £55.7 billion, including rolling stock. The funding envelope is net of any proceeds from selling Land &amp; Property that is not directly needed for construction of the railway.</p><p>I am committed to managing both the cost of HS2 and ensuring maximum value for the taxpayer, and delivering within the funding available.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 22/02/2017 10:42:17 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
