Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what engagement her Department and HS2 Ltd have had with the Canal & River Trust on tackling antisocial behaviour on canals and towpaths near HS2 construction sites.

HS2 Ltd maintains a working relationship with the Canal & River Trust, with regular meetings in which they discuss any Canal & River Trust matters relevant to the HS2 project, including any safety or other public concerns relating to construction sites.
