The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether any (a) current or former Ministers, (b) senior civil servants, (c) HS2 Ltd executives and (d) HS2 Ltd contractors have been referred for (i) disciplinary action, (ii) misconduct proceedings and (iii) investigation as a result of the findings of the Lovegrove report.

Answered by Keir Mather

Sir Steven Lovegrove's review contains a number of recommendations that the government will give due consideration, as it did with James Stewart’s review, and will respond in due course. The government has already acted decisively to turn the tide on past mismanagement by fundamentally resetting how the programme is governed and delivered.
