To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will place a copy of the Misbourne Valley Lidar survey, carried out as part of the High Speed 2 project, in the Library.

The Lidar survey data is a highly detailed dataset that was used to create digital surface and digital terrain geospatial models to an accuracy of 20cm for use in developing HS2. The information is many terabytes in size, and is not kept in a form that would allow it to be deposited in the House library as requested, as it is data that can only be viewed using specialist mapping software. However, HS2 Ltd are happy to allow interested parties to view the data and where technically possible, to share it. HS2 Ltd will contact my Right Honourable Friend’s office to arrange such a viewing.
