After Rail Minister Nus Ghani had categorically told him that no HS2 staff have ever signed agreements with confidentiality clauses, Ivan Lewis MP was rather less than impressed when a written answer from her counterpart in the Lords, Baroness Vere, showed there have actually been 47.
Naturally, Lewis was not too impressed on this and on the day that parliament broke up for summer spoke about HS2 twice. First was to ask the Speaker what the procedure for getting Ghani back to explain why she misled parliament, and the second time he made it clear that the whistleblowing scandal at HS2 Ltd is not going away.
House of Lords, 24th July 2019. Tony Berkeley claims that parliament has been misled for at least three years and that the £86bn cost estimate for HS2 has been known for at least three years. Baroness Vere seems to claim that gagging former employees is standard practice at HS2 Ltd.
Jonathan Pie interviews Chris Packham on HS2. More important than watching the video is visiting this link to email your MP.
If you’ve not seen anything from Pie before, please note that it’s a bit sweary.
