HS2

Asked if the PM had met the Welsh Secretary or received the resignation she said she would give, the PMS said there had been no specific meeting recently on the matter.

Asked if a tunnel would be in the Welsh Secretary’s constituency, the PMS told the assembled media that the announcement was being made by Justine Greening. The Government had run a consultation; people had concerns and the Government has listened to them.

Put that the cost of the scheme looked to be rising, the PMS said that for every pound spent two pounds would be generated. He explained this was part of the Government’s efforts to rebalance the economy and tackle the North-South divide.

Asked if tickets would be affordable, the PMS said that we wanted people to use the railway. If tickets weren’t affordable then people wouldn’t use it.
