"The government is prioritising HS2's initial services between Old Oak Common in London and Birmingham Curzon Street to provide delivery of passenger benefits as soon as possible," Mr Harper said. In a written statement, Mark Harper said the project was making "good progress" but the Birmingham to Crewe section will see a construction "rephase" by two years. Now the transport secretary has confirmed the news. Meanwhile, Tory MP Greg Smith posted his reaction on Twitter - saying the HS2 project had been a "colossal mistake" and urged the government to go further and cancel "all of it".Įarlier, we reported that the government was set to announce that construction of certain sections of HS2 will be delayed in an attempt to cut costs (see 14.36 post). That was echoed by a statement from Labour's shadow transport secretary, Louise Haigh, who said: "This is the biggest project in Europe and delays pile costs up in the long-run - ministers now need to come clean on precisely how much their indecision will cost taxpayers and the North."Ī spokesperson for the Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said: "The Speaker has consistently told the Government that major policy announcements should be made to the House first so that members have the chance to ask questions on behalf of their constituents, rather than hearing about them via the media." "The secretary of state should have had the decency to come to this House and explain to members why they are doing this." Tens of thousands of jobs and billions of pounds of growth are dependent on this project. "This is an outrageous attempt to avoid scrutiny for what is a very significant announcement, which should have been made to this House first. "The government has just announced huge delays to HS2 and other road and active travel projects via a written ministerial statement - at nearly 5 o'clock on Thursday afternoon. In a point of order raised moments ago, Labour MP Sarah Owen made clear her anger at the fact Mark Harper had not come to the chamber to face questions.
