HS2 Ltd also records evidence to demonstrate compliance and performs risk-based assurance. Overall compliance is monitored by the Department.</p><p> </p><p>Assurance #2047 on the register committed the Government to provide up to £30 million to improve road safety along the HS2 line of route. The Department informed relevant local authorities of their allocations from this HS2 Road Safety Fund in 2017. Since then, local authorities have been drawing down these funds for use in accordance with their own locally agreed priorities.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 15/04/2024 11:06:48 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
