To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent estimate he has made of the total cost of the HS2 programme.
Andrew Stephenson
Assistant Whip, Minister of State (Department for Transport)
The full HS2 network is estimated to cost between £72-£98Bn (2019 prices). The numbers include contingency to accommodate unforeseeable cost pressures which may emerge during construction, as is to be expected with all major infrastructure projects. More information on cost can be found in the 6-monthly parliamentary reports.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
