Report on HS2 expenditure between April 2016 and March 2017, in compliance with the High Speed Rail (Preparation) Act 2013.

The High Speed Rail (Preparation) Act 2013 received Royal Assent on 21 November 2013. It authorises the Secretary of State for Transport, with HM Treasury approval, to incur expenditure in preparation for a high speed railway transport network (HS2). Section 2(1) of the act requires the Secretary of State to lay a report on expenditure under section 1 for each financial year before parliament.

The report meets the requirements of the act, providing information on:

o expenditure incurred by cost category during the financial year to which the report relates, with C-DEL and R-DEL expenditure specified separately
o the extent to which expenditure during this period represents overspend or underspend by each cost category
o the likely effect of any such overspend or underspend on the total budget of £55.7 billion (2015 prices)
o total expenditure incurred
o an account of vocational qualifications gained during this period by individuals employed by HS2 Ltd to carry out activities in preparing for and constructing the high speed rail network
