THE new Government says it intends to continue with work on HS2, including Phase 2a towards Manchester, which it describes as the next leg. The commitment is set out today in the Queens Speech at the State Opening of Parliament. Timetables for passing laws have been disrupted by the unexpected General Election, and achieving the new laws set out in this years speech will cover two years of Parliamentary time, meaning that there will be no further timetable for legislation announced in 2018.
