High Speed Rail: Phase 1 Consultation Update
Delivered by: | Norman Baker MP |
Publisher: | Department for Transport |
Delivered date: | 18 September 2012 |
Type: | Written statement |
Mode/topic: | Rail, High speed rail |
The decision to proceed took account of a range of evidence including analysis by my Department and High Speed Two Ltd of issues raised in consultation as well as comments from a wide variety of interested parties through a range of engagement approaches. The Government’s independent response analysis consultants, Dialogue by Design (DbyD), carried out a detailed analysis of the consultation responses and a summary of their analysis was published alongside the Government’s January decision, with an addendum report published in July:
- High Speed Rail: Investing in Britain’s Future – Consultation Summary Report
- High Speed Rail: Investing in Britain’s Future – Addendum
The table below shows how many of the seven consultation answers were omitted from the analysis in each case:
Number of question responses not analysed1 | Number of respondents |
---|---|
1 | 520 |
2 | 130 |
3 | 44 |
4 | 14 |
5 | 7 |
6 | 2 |
7 | 5 |
My Department asked for supplementary analysis from DbyD and this work concludes that the responses ‘do not provide any information that was not already included in the previous Consultation Summary Report or would have made a difference to the substantive content or balance of that report’. Inclusion in the original analysis would not have changed the substance of DbyD’s findings, nor affected the considerations which informed the decisions following the consultation.
All those who submitted the responses affected will be contacted with details of their particular cases.
1 Because not all respondents answered all seven questions, there are 20 respondents in total for whom all the questions they answered were omitted.
