High Speed 2 is a national high-speed rail network, consisting of a new double- track railway which when finished will directly connect London, Birmingham, the West Midlands, Leeds and Manchester.1 In order to manage such a large infrastructure project the government has divided the necessary legislation into three parts: a) Phase 1 - London to the West Midlands (enabling works have begun at Euston station and the first HS2 services will begin in 2026); b) Phase 2a - the West Midlands to Crewe, (construction work will begin in 2020 with the first services to begin in 2027, assuming Royal Assent of the Bill); c) Phase 2b - which consists of railway lines from Crewe to Manchester, and Birmingham to Leeds.2 The first HS2 services will begin in 2033. 2. The principle of the High Speed Rail (West Midlands - Crewe Bill) is regarded as having been agreed to on Second Reading. On Second Reading the House agreed to “the provision of a high speed railway between a junction with Phase One of High Speed 2 near Fradley Wood, in Staffordshire, and a junction with the West Coast Mainline near Crewe in Cheshire … .its broad route alignment, and the fact that there are to be no new stations on, or additional spurs from, the railway”.3 3. This report is about Additional Provision 2 to the High Speed Rail (West Midlands - Crewe) Bill and continues some themes from our earlier reports. This is our final report. 4. Phase 1, the High Speed Rail (London-West Midlands) Bill was introduced in November 2013 and made provision for the building of a high speed railway from London to the West Midlands.4 The High Speed Rail (London-West Midlands) Act came into force in 2017. Archeological ground work and enabling works have begun at Euston with engineering works expected to start in June 2019. The planned opening date for the whole route, assuming the necessary legislation is passed, is 2033. The High Speed Rail (Preparation) Act 2013 authorised the Secretary of State to incur expenditure in preparation for the construction of a high speed rail network.5 Parliament and the Committee 5. The building of the railway will be provided under powers granted by Parliament. Parliament is to scrutinise the proposed legislation, and, where appropriate amend the draft legislation before approving it.6 1 Cm 8247 was presented to Parliament in January 2012 “High Speed Rail: Investing in Britain’s Future - Decisions and Next Steps”. 2 HS2 Phase 2b 3 https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2018–01–30/debates/DFB17084-CBF7–4618-9E12-6252FE0DE218/ HighSpeedRail(WestMidlands-Crewe)Bill 4 HS2 Phase 1 5 High Speed Rail (West Midlands - Crewe Bill) Explanatory Notes, para 4 6 For example, Channel Tunnel Act 1987, Crossrail Act 2008 6 Third Special Report of Session 2017–19 6. The Phase 2a High Speed Rail (West Midlands-Crewe) Bill is a hybrid bill. A hybrid bill is subject to certain parliamentary proceedings in addition to the usual stages of the passing of a public bill. In the case of a hybrid bill, individuals and businesses who are affected by the changes proposed in the Bill and the Additional Provisions may petition Parliament, and can put their case to the Committee. This particular hybrid bill sets out a route and gives outline permission needed to build the railway. The Committee’s role was limited to hearing petitions against the proposals contained in the Bill and the additional provisions and to aid resolution between parties and make decisions. 7. The proposed route of the railway is set out in the plans, which under the rules (Standing Orders) for both the House of Commons and House of Lords, must be deposited in Parliament with the Bill. Schedule 4 to the Bill gives the Secretary of State power to acquire land compulsorily “so much of the land within the Act limits as may be required for Phase 2a purposes.” Schedule 6 contains provision about the particular purposes for which the land specified within that Schedule and shown on the Bill plans may be acquired, so that it may be used for the purposes of constructing and maintaining works as laid out in Schedule 1.7 In the Bill, the Secretary of State is obliged to list the areas in which major works will be undertaken. 8. The High Speed Rail (West Midlands - Crewe) Bill was introduced on 17 July 2017, and received its Second Reading on 30 January 2018. On Second Reading the Bill was committed to a Bill Select Committee.8 9. Petitioning against the Bill opened on 31 January and closed on Monday 26 February 2018. The Committee received 187 petitions. 10. Submitting a petition alerts HS2 to the objections of those who are directly and specially affected by to the proposed Scheme. HS2 may negotiate with the petitioner.

  • The West's Turkey Conundrum
    THE NEW GEOPOLITICS FEBRUARY 2018 EUROPE THE WEST’S TURKEY CONUNDRUM AMANDA SLOAT BROOKINGS – ROBERT BOSCH FOUNDATION TRANSATLANTIC INITIATIVE THE WEST’S TURKEY CONUNDRUM AMANDA SLOAT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Policymakers in the United States and European Union are struggling with how to manage their relations with Turkey. What makes the country such a conundrum is that its problematic leadership faces real threats. Turkey is confronting challenges from the aftermath of the July 2016 coup attempt and the destabilizing effects of the Syrian war. Yet the country’s president is growing more authoritarian, using virulent anti-Western rhetoric, and making foreign policy choices contrary to the interests of the trans-Atlantic alliance. The policy goal is navigating this gray zone today to preserve the possibility of better relations in the future. The paper begins by examining the main domestic and regional challenges facing Turkey, as well as how these issues impact the country’s relations with its Western allies. It then outlines three possible policy responses for the United States and Europe: abandonment, transactionalism, and engagement. The paper makes the case for taking a long view, as the current period before Turkey’s parliamentary and presidential elections (due sometime before November 2019) will remain difficult. The degree of political, security, socio-economic, and cultural integration between Turkey and the West requires a nuanced and supple style of relationship management. Specifically, the paper advocates for constructive and principled engagement. This entails widening the aperture of government outreach to more officials on a broader range of shared interests; using the prospect of deeper trade and investment links to encourage better governance; expanding people-to-people ties and supporting civil society; and staying true to Western values by speaking out about rule of law and human rights abuses.

    S PRING THE BELLS OF IOWA STATE 2020 C OMMEN C EMENT THE HISTORY OF “THE BELLS OF IOWA STATE” James C. Wilson (1900-1995) was a member of Iowa State’s English faculty from 1928 to 1931. He had to resign due to his lack of a Ph.D., and prior to his departure, he submitted a college song candidate for a song contest sponsored by the Iowa State Club of Chicago. Jim and his wife, Alice, moved to Chicago where as he notes, “We (in addition to their two babies) had $212 in cash from my last paycheck, our five-year-old Chevrolet, and the tent.” He won first place with “The Bells of Iowa State,” and the family was able to purchase a Iowa State University Library PRING OMMENCEMENT Special Collections Department small cottage on Lake Michigan.
