Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will (a) publish the Government's contracts with Carillion for all works relating or connected to High Speed Two and (b) place copies of those contracts in the Library.

HS2 Ltd has no direct contract with Carillion. The contract is with the CEK Joint Venture which is commercially sensitive. The CEK joint venture has provided HS2 Ltd with assurances that in the event any member of the group being unable to deliver on its responsibilities, the remaining members, now Eiffage and Kier, would fill the gap.
