High Speed 2 Line: Compensation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she plans to take to ensure that people in Newcastle-under-Lyme constituency are paid the HS2 compensation that they are owed.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Government is committed to ensuring that anyone owed compensation, whether in Newcastle-under-Lyme or anywhere along the HS2 route, should receive it as soon as possible once it falls due. I will continue to impress upon HS2 Ltd the necessity of working closely with claimants and their agents to ensure that claims are properly evidenced and then paid promptly.
