Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many consultancy contracts relating to HS2 of over £5 million have been agreed since 2010; and to deposit the details of each such contract, including (1) the supplier, (2) a description of services, and (3) the spend to date, in the House of Lords library.

As HS2 Ltd do not categorise consultancy spend within their contracts this information is not easily available and could only be compiled at disproportionate cost. As part of the Government’s transparency agenda, a full list of awarded contract opportunities is available on HS2 Ltd’s website
