SUNAK HASN'T HAD A SINGLE MEETING WITH HS2 BOSSES

PM is criticised over £91billion rail link 'chaos'

- MIKEY SMITH

RISHI Sunak is today accused of being "missing in action" over HS2 having NEVER met the team building it.

Analysis of his official meeting logs reveal he has not met HS2 Ltd once since being appointed to the Treasury in July 2019.

And the HS2 Ministerial Taskforce in charge of monitoring and overseeing the progress of the rail link has not met since Mr Sunak became Prime Minister.

There are also fresh claims that advisers tried to ditch HS2.

As the Tories gathered for their conference in Manchester, Shadow Transport Secretary Louise Haigh said: "Rishi Sunak has been missing in action as Europe's biggest infrastructure project has been put at risk by Government incompetence.
