It is a complex and important judgment which the Government will need time to consider carefully.</p><p> </p><p>HS2 is due to play a key part in the transition to a net-zero carbon UK economy by 2050. HS2 will offer some of the lowest carbon emissions per passenger km – seven times less than passenger cars and 17 times less than domestic air travel in 2030. By providing a cleaner, greener way to travel, HS2 will help cut the number of cars and lorries on our roads, cut demand for domestic flights, and help the country’s fight against climate change.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 19/03/2020 15:19:06 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
