HS2 and Public Sector Pay on Question Time

For the last two weeks, HS2 has come up on BBC Question Time, both times being mentioned as something which could be cut to help pay for public sector pay increases.

We’ve added  these  clips to our playlist of the times HS2 has got a kicking on Question Time.
