answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2021 answer text <p>The costs for construction sites to operate safely, including, where necessary, the safe removal of trespassers, form part of existing contracts between HS2 Ltd and its supply chain. Due to the levels of protestor activity experienced, an additional £49 million of security costs across the HS2 project has been expended up to December 2020. The impact to the schedule of trespassers and in some cases concerted vandalism has not yet been fully assessed but we expect this to be within the overall estimated cost range of the project.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 08/02/2021 13:42:54 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
