HS2 Update

Proceeding contribution from Lord Grayling (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 July 2017. It occurred during Ministerial statement on HS2 Update.

I know that the hon. Gentleman feels strongly about this project, which does affect his constituents. I have been clear in saying that it is not

possible to build a project like this without affecting someone—whichever route we chose. In fact, if we had chosen the Meadowhall route instead of the M18 route, more properties would have been demolished. The reality is that we have to take decisions and ensure that we treat the people affected decently. I know that the hon. Gentleman will not agree with me or us about this project, but I assure him that we will seek to treat his constituents fairly.
