Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what information his Department holds on when HS2 Ltd plans to appoint an agricultural liaison officer.
The Main Works Invitation to Tender documentation issued by HS2 Limited in 2016 included a requirement to appoint an Agricultural Liaison Officer for work undertaken in rural areas. The Contractor, when appointed in late 2017, will provide a dedicated Agricultural Liaison Officer service to address issues arising from landowners and farmers.
