question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether steel produced in Britain will be used for the HS2 project.
tabling member printed	Lord Hoyle
uin	HL5234
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2016 answer text <p>It is estimated that HS2 will need approximately 2 million tonnes of steel over the next 10 years. The procurement for the main civil engineering works between Euston and Birmingham is now underway with procurements for the stations and rail systems expected to commence later this year and for rolling stock in early 2017. Subject to Royal Assent, the project will start construction in 2017.</p><p> </p><p>As with the rest of the materials for construction, steel is procured by the supply chain. We positively encourage bids from British companies and are already holding discussions with UK suppliers to make sure they are in the best possible position to win contracts for the steel that will be needed for track, concrete reinforcements, overhead wires and other structures. This Government has put rules in place for all its departments to ensure we can buy the right quality steel, produced under the right conditions - which will be of clear benefit to UK bidders.</p><p>HS2 provides an excellent opportunity for businesses across the UK with 25,000 jobs created during construction and 3,000 when up and running.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 02/02/2016 12:57:57 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2016 answer text <p>The electrification of the Manchester to Blackpool train route is still in the design phase and the steel has not yet been purchased.</p><p> </p><p>Network Rail already sources 95% of its steel rail from the UK. Steel for electrification projects has typically been procured by principal contractors from a variety of sources, but Network Rail is currently seeking to aggregate volumes wherever possible and procure materials directly. Total forecast requirement of steel for electrification projects is forecast to be around 175k tonnes over the next 6 years. Network Rail’s strategy is to source this from the UK wherever possible, and the electrification of the Manchester to Blackpool train route will also be in accordance with this.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 01/02/2016 12:32:46 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
