High Speed Rail (Crewe - Manchester) Bill: Instruction (No. 3)

Hybrid Bill Transport

What this vote was about

This was a procedural "instruction" to the committee scrutinising the High Speed Rail (Crewe - Manchester) Bill, the hybrid bill for the Phase 2b leg of HS2. Following the Government's 2023 decision to cancel the northern legs of HS2, the instruction directed the committee to remove from the Bill the sections covering the Crewe-to-Manchester route and a spur towards Wigan, and barred petitions arguing for those cancelled railways. In effect it formally cut the abandoned parts of the line out of the legislation. MPs approved the instruction by 323 votes to 7.
