Conclusion
We welcome the Government’s pledge to look at how the Eastern leg of HS2 might be constructed in full to Leeds as originally planned; the city is a key focal point not only of existing rail networks, but of economic value and potential in the North.

Accepted
The Government accepts the recommendation, which is in line with its approach to, for example, cost and schedule forecasts for HS2. The IRP in fact already contains information about cost and date ranges. However, through the next stage of development, for example the SOBC for NPR, the Government expects to provide further information on ranges and sensitivities for both costs and benefits where such information is available and can meaningfully be applied. The IRP Technical Annex also shows ranges, for instance for expected value for money category, and expected delivery timescales.
