To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will provide financial support for the soundproofing of properties affected by noise from the High Speed 2 line.
Andrew Jones
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
Where noise from the construction of HS2 is likely to impact a person’s home by exceeding the relevant limits, the Government will offer to install noise insulation in the property, or pay for the costs of installing noise insulation. Noise insulation will also be offered to eligible properties that experience noise impacts above the relevant limits from the operation of HS2 services.
