This revised DA provides clarifications and amendments to, for example, the Land and Property section where the concepts of Core Land, Additional Land, Management Land and Operation &amp; Maintenance Land are set out. It amends the role for HS2 Ltd associated with the shadow operator functions transferring to the West Coast Partnership and changes the Performance Remedies Regime. Other areas of change include:</p><ul><li>Stations Commercialisation</li><li>Sponsor’s Requirements</li><li>Wider Programme Benefits</li><li>Over Site development</li><li>Management Information</li><li>Undertakings and Assurances</li><li>Instruction, Change and Affirmation Process</li></ul> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 24/01/2019 17:50:17 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
