answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2016 answer text <p>Best value for the taxpayer in the introduction of compensation for delays from 15 minutes is likely to be achieved through franchise competitions as bidders will have incentives to deliver this at a competitive price. This is why the Department will be introducing the new policy through competition, where a competition is underway or is planned.</p><p> </p><p>The Department will work with the franchise operators to agree how and when these improvements will be implemented, where this does not apply, ensuring the best possible deal for passengers and taxpayers. The full roll out in these cases will be dependent on the Department reaching a commercial agreement with the existing franchise operators.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 17/11/2016 15:18:41 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

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.
