Question
Further to WQ89222, has the Welsh Government given any further consideration to initiating a legal challenge against the UK Government's decision to withhold consequential funding for Wales, given the recent acknowledgement that the total cost of the HS2 London to Birmingham line could be £66 billion?
Answer
Answered by Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Further consideration has been given and it has been concluded that the wide discretion the Treasury has would make any challenge unlikely to succeed.
