Welcome to the inaugural edition of CR:HS2 – a publication designed to provide regular commentary updates and insight into HS2 and the issues arising from it.

It is particularly timely to be releasing this publication now given that the Hybrid Bill for Phase One (London to the West Midlands) had its First Reading in the House of Commence on 25 November; at the same time the extensive Environmental Statement was published and the latest consultation on discretionary compensation packages concluded last week.

Over the past 18 months, the HS2 team at Charles Russell has been readying itself for today with a mix of topical articles as well as substantial legal work advising particularly those with property interests near the proposed route as to their options.

What July 2026’s Bank Of England Decision Means For Private Capital Stakeholders

As widely anticipated, the Bank of England voted last week to hold Bank Rate at 3.75%. Whilst markets had expected the decision, it is noticeable that the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) moved from a 7-2 decision, to a 6-3 one, with three members favouring a 0.25% increase. The move demonstrates the continued uncertainty around the UK’s inflationary environment, particularly in light of geopolitical tension, tariffs and trade disruption and political change, and their combined impact on global energy prices and the wider economic outlook.

Summer 2026 Update: Where Are We Are On The Government’s Roadmap To Commonhold?
