Slough MP @TanDhesi has raised concerns on rumours that HS2's Eastern Leg "will not be continued by the Government".
It comes as Parliament debated HS2 on Monday after a petition calling for work to stop on HS2 immediately reached over 150,000 signatures.

Councillors heard from young residents during Monday’s full council debate about the Future of Euston. Please fill in the survey so we can hear from you!
@joerukin Are @HS2ltd seriously trying to suggest that #HS2 stops at #Coventry?!🤬For the benefit of any doubt, it doesn't. Coventry & Warwickshire commuters will need to travel up to #Birmingham to then travel back down to #London i.e. a longer journey #wasteoftime #stophs2 #HS2debate
Apart from the environment costs 3 important points that Chris Packham mentions that should alarm the public, investors and the government
1. Out of date technology being applied
2. A White elephant
3. Democracy
#HS2debate
Last night MPs debated my petition to stop work on HS2 and hold another vote immediately .
Overall I think it went well – but MPs still fail to grasp the gravity of the situation . HS2 is not compatible with a green future .
My initial reaction ↓
📹from @BBradley_Mans on what he would have said in last nights #HS2debate, but he wasn't called to speak

"It is now more than 250 days since the government promised to publish the Integrated Rail Plan.
Promises matter. In last night's #HS2debate, @TanDhesi on the delay from @BorisJohnson
"Continued failures from govt to properly commit to the Eastern Leg to Leeds paints a very different picture. No Integrated Rail Plan, no Northern Powerhouse Rail, no Eastern Leg."
Spot on from @TanDhesi in last nights #HS2debate on £5b /yr cost of this delay:
"Many businesses & commuters have made crucial plans around the guarantee of HS2 being delivered- government have promised that this will stimulate the economy & rebalance the North-South divide"
Overpromising and underdelivering yet again.
Failing to commit to the HS2 eastern leg to Leeds would be a complete betrayal.
The PM must deliver this project on time and in full.

Green Party grandees seem to be courting the middle class, rural Range Rover driving NIMBY vote in the #HS2Debate. It’s heartbreaking that the environmental movement in the UK has been so manipulated by misinformation propagated by oil company funded think tanks like the TPA.
Some excellent myth-busting from @robertlargan here, an MP who understands the issue being discussed and the bigger picture, unlike the bloke behind him pulling silly faces and shaking his head.
🧵On myth busting speech in the #HS2debate from @robertlargan
“Despite its name, #HS2 has never been simply about shaving 30 minutes off journey times down to London.
It's always been about tackling the capacity challenge on the country's most important strategic railway.
Its time to stop annialating our environment for the stake of a few construction giants. The petioners are right. It's time to scrap HS2. @CarolineLucas
Whilst the #HS2 debate has been interesting - following huge cost increases since the initial consultation and whistleblower allegations set out by @tonyberkeley1 isn't it time for an inquiry to ensure taxpayer cash is being protected from misuse? @Andrew4Pendle
@HoCpetitions @transportgovuk @Andrew4Pendle So, just the two tweets about #HS2?
I guess that just about sums up how important the government think the HS2 "debate" really is.

Strong from @CatMcKinnell in the #HS2debate
“If the government's intention is simply to build 21st century rail links between London & Birmingham while passengers and businesses & the North are left behind it will make an absolute mockery of levelling- up."

.@transportgovuk Minister @Andrew4Pendle has highlighted the economic reasons why the Government feels that #HS2 should go ahead.
He said the project has "almost certainly" been subject to more Parliamentary scrutiny than any other infrastructure project.

"We're still relying on that railway system that the Victorians built for us.
My constituents & most of the north of England have supported #HS2 because of the economic benefits that it gives."
📹Graham Stringer MP in the #HS2debate on the economic benefits, & full delivery
Former Tory minister @andrealeadsom: “I am ashamed of the way #HS2 is being implemented”. An acknowledgement at least of the shameful way hard-working homeowners & businesses - who happen to be in the way - are being treated. #HS2debate @SarahGreenLD @Andrew4Pendle @HS2ltd
