This from the DfT website:
Good to see that DafT is creating new capacity for journeys it considers unnecessary.
UPDATE: This from Captain Deltic...
So, on the one hand DfT is trying to reduce business travel while on the other hand it is trying to increase business travel by building HS2.
Oh well, consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds. It all makes work for the railway journalist so who am I to complain.
