answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2016 answer text <p>No net loss of biodiversity is a complex and important issue. It is, therefore, correct that Natural England takes the time necessary to produce a thorough independent review for Government and that the Government takes the time to make a considered response. We hope to publish both Natural England’s review and the Government’s report before the end of the HS2 Select Committee in the Lords.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 18/10/2016 14:28:44 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2015 answer text <p>The construction of High Speed 2 (HS2) will release capacity on the existing network, including the West Coast Mainline, reducing crowding, improving resilience and reliability across the network, and improving journey opportunities for passengers. This released capacity could also provide space for at least an extra 20 West Coast Main Line freight paths helping to meet forecast freight demand and taking lorries off the road network. Phase One of HS2 will also bring substantial benefits in its own right, providing additional capacity and improved connectivity.</p><br /> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 16/11/2015 14:06:31 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/11/2014 answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Severn Bridge and the M6 Toll both have their own tag systems for paying tolls.

We are broadly supportive of such interoperability for tolled crossings where this makes sense for road users, but these should not put additional costs on other road users who will not benefit from interoperability.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 11/11/2014 14:00:59 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Secretary of State is seeking powers through the Hybrid Bill to construct the HS2 scheme as set out in that Bill. This does not include a new station adjacent to Curzon Street as proposed.　There are a range of potential infrastructure schemes, such as new stations, which could further increase connections for the travelling public above and beyond the scheme set out in the Bill. The Department is not evaluating the case for such proposals and will therefore not undertake a study on a new station to serve Curzon Street.　The Department will continue to work with local authorities who are taking the lead in identifying and evaluating options for wider connectivity that will extend the benefits offered by HS2.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 02/09/2014 14:21:04 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
