Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many of the current Crossrail engineers and construction teams were under contract to transfer to work on HS2 after the planned opening of Crossrail in December 2018; and how many of those contracts resulted in penalty, retainer or other payments or fees to be made to either those individuals or the companies they work for since December 2018.

This is a matter for Crossrail Limited and the individual contractors working for Crossrail Limited.
