answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>The PWC report on the comparative costs of developing and constructing high speed lines in Europe and elsewhere was withheld under section 22 (1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 because it is intended for future publication. In applying this exemption we had to balance complex public interest consideration in withholding or disclosing the report. We found the balance to be in favour of withholding at that time and that remains our position.</p><p> </p><p>I can reaffirm that HS2 Ltd intend to publish this report in the coming months.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 16/07/2018 13:42:49 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2018 answer text <p>I refer the noble Lord back to my previous response to his question on 25 April 2018 (HL7119). We are seeking to recover costs of the operation from several third parties, however a final position on cost recoveries is unlikely to be known until the completion of the administration, which may take several months. We are, of course, determined to ensure that as much of taxpayers’ money is recovered as possible.</p><p> </p><p>The administrator, KPMG, has since published a progress report for the administration of Monarch Airlines Limited, which is freely available from http://www.insolvency-kpmg.co.uk. This report provides an interim update, which will inform our ongoing negotiation with Greybull.</p><p> </p><p>We will in due course be able to report back with more detail.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 12/07/2018 12:51:27 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
