Here are the climate-related sections of speeches by MPs during the Commons debate High Speed Rail (Crewe-Manchester) Bill and Associated Documents.
The Minister of State, Department for Transport (Andrew Stephenson)
HS2 will help provide a cleaner and greener form of transport, offering significantly lower carbon emissions per passenger kilometre than long distance car journeys or domestic air travel. HS2 has the potential to deliver world-class low-carbon transport to bring our biggest cities closer together, spread opportunity and support the UK’s transition to a ‘net zero’ economy.
