Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of Carillion’s financial collapse on HS2.
There is no operational impact on HS2.
HS2 was awarded as a joint venture, comprising of Carillion, Eiffage and Kier. In the event of one of these parties not being able to fulfil their commitments, there is a guarantee that the other companies jointly involved in the bids will step in and ensure the successful delivery of the work.
