Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the determination of a compelling reason to sell under HS2’s Need to Sell scheme involves a means-test of the applicant and their immediate family members.
The financial circumstances of an applicant to the HS2 Need to Sell (NTS) scheme, or an immediate family member, would be examined only if relevant to an application.
The NTS scheme panel require a summary of an applicant’s compelling reason, or reasons, to sell with each element of their case being supported by documentary evidence.
