Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what recognised method of measurement was used to calculate the Property Cost Estimate for HS2.
This question was answered on 18th June 2018
The Property Cost Estimate was calculated in line with the recognised principles of compulsory compensation based on land taken, industry best practice and experiences from other similar infrastructure projects. Assumptions are applied for acquisitions and other payments made under HS2 non-statutory property schemes which reflect estimated and actual take-up.
