The Secretary of State for Transport (Mr Patrick McLoughlin)
I am announcing the appointment of Sir David Higgins as chair of HS2 Ltd. Sir David will be taking over the role from the current chair, Sir Doug Oakervee, as of January next year.
A revised HS2 Ltd framework document which sets out the governance and sponsorship arrangements between the Department for Transport and HS2 Ltd has been published. Copies of the document will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses. Any future revision to the document will also be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
The document is available online at:
