Friend is right to say that not every city, town and village will benefit from this plan, but one thing is for sure, which is that they will all be paying for it and there are opportunity costs.

Airport Expansion
"This judgment will potentially simply export carbon emissions to our competitors, together with UK jobs and prosperity, and it is particularly bad news for the south-west.

Written Question
Friday 5th April 2019
Asked by:
Andrew Murrison (Conservative - South West Wiltshire)
Question
to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to facilitate the employment of non-EU nationals on inshore fishing vessels based in Northern Ireland.
Answered by Nusrat Ghani
The UK has ratified the International Labour Organisation’s Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188), which sets minimum global standards for living and working conditions for fishermen. Regardless of employment status or nationality, all those working on UK fishing vessels, including fishing vessels in Northern Ireland, are therefore protected by the UK legislation implementing that Convention.

At the conclusion of each consultation, a list of all respondents is published on GOV.UK
In addition to formal consultation, there is also extensive and ongoing engagement with local authorities along the HS2 line of route.
