Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have received new evidence from OTB Engineering relating to the Wendover short mined tunnel; and whether, as a result, they will order a review of the engineering costs used by HS2 Ltd.
HS2 Ltd received a copy of the OTB Engineering report on 25 October 2016. The report contains no evidence to suggest that the current cost estimates prepared by HS2 Ltd need reviewing.
