	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2024 answer text <p>In all cases, HS2 Ltd seeks to provide compensation in as timely a manner as possible. And the focus of the Department for Transport has always been on devising policies to ensure that transactions are progressed promptly. For instance, the streamlined residential blight (SRB) scheme was introduced to provide a quicker route for property owners to sell their home as the process does not require negotiation on the property value and disturbance items. This goes beyond what is mandated in law (through the Compensation Code).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 17/04/2024 14:42:41 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2024 answer text <p>Policy changes are a common feature of Government and there is no mechanism or precedent for compensating local authorities or councils for abortive costs incurred as a result of changes in Government policy. Providing compensation in this instance would create wide-ranging and repercussive consequences for the taxpayer. Whilst abortive costs are unfortunate, they should be seen in the context of a broader package of support for local authorities that the Government is providing through Network North. For instance, a new £2.5 billion fund for local transport across all areas in the North outside the six city regions – smaller cities, counties, towns and countryside and as well as a new £3.3 billion fund for road resurfacing in the North.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 15/04/2024 13:51:46 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
