While the response isn't cited, it appears to have been the basis for reports::
"Wind farms could be built along HS2 route under confidential Government plans", Edward Malnick, "Sunday Political Editor", The Telegraph, 27 January 2019.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/201...
It appears the released material is described as: "An official strategy document seen by The Sunday Telegraph "
"Wind farms may be built alongside HS2 train line in move which 'could easily make it the world's most expensive railway'", Bhvishya Patel For MailOnline, MailOnline 27 January 2019.

It is notable that material available on WhatDoTheyKnow.com since June 2018 has been considered front page news in January 2019.
