HS2 to be fast-tracked - DfT hopes for amnesia?

Call the Fact Compiler a cynic but he wonders whether the proposed fast tracking of HS2 is designed to draw a veil over recent ICWC events?

Tough luck, it won't work.

So let's be clear about what the DfT really needs to focus on now.

1. Where is the remit for Richard Brown's review?
2. Who is being asked to contribute to it.
3. How can other interested parties make submissions
4. What is the precise timeline for activities and implementation of any findings after Richard Brown reports back, allegedly on the 31st December.

As soon as possible, please.
