Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what salary was paid to the Interim Chief Executive of HS2 Ltd, Ray Hill, during his term of office; and what terms and functions applied to his employment within HS2.

HS2 Ltd pays CH2MHill £48,500 + VAT a month for the services of the interim Chief Executive Roy Hill on a pro-rata basis (based on the number of working days per month that are worked by Mr Hill).

HS2 Ltd do not hold any other remuneration information for Mr Roy Hill. Mr Hill remains the direct employee of CH2MHill and CH2MHill is therefore responsible for his salary and benefits package.
