Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many CH2M Hill staff (1) are working for; (2) are seconded to; (3) have worked for; or (4) are advising under consultancy arrangements: (a) Thames Water, (b) the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and (c) Bazalgette, on the Thames Tideway Tunnel project.

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has no CH2M Hill staff working for it on the Thames Tideway Tunnel (TTT) project now or in the past. CH2M Hill has been contracted to Bazalgette Tunnel Limited (‘Tideway’) as project managers for the TTT project since August 2015, and before that to Thames Water Utilities Limited (‘TWUL’). The engagement of CH2M Hill staff by Tideway or TWUL for work on the TTT project is a matter for them as private sector companies.
