Watch: 'I won't be forced into a premature decision on HS2' - Sunak
By Becky Morton
BBC political reporter in Manchester
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said he will not be "forced into a premature decision" on the future of HS2.
He told the BBC an "enormous amount" of money was being spent on the high speed train line and it was important to make the right long-term decision.
Pressure is growing on the PM to make an announcement as reports continue to circle that he is going to scrap the line's Birmingham to Manchester leg.
But the PM refused to confirm whether it would go ahead.
