High Speed 2 Phase 2a: Consultation Response Report The Minister of State, Department for Transport (Andrew Stephenson) I am today publishing a consultation report as required under section 60(1) of the High Speed Rail (West Midlands-Crewe) Act 2021. The report summarises the responses to the HS2 phase 2a local consultation held between 1 February and 26 February 2021 and has been prepared by the independent research company, Ipsos MORI. I am placing copies of the report in the Libraries of both Houses. I am carefully considering the report and will publish the Government response to their findings in June.
