HS2 Ltd have reported one of their subcontractors to HMRC over alleged fraud involving pay for construction staff

The HS2 subcontractor fraud case will now be looked into by HMRC following HS2 Ltd’s own investigations into two of its contractors.

The case in question involves a firm that was supplying workers to Balfour Beatty Vinci, one of the HS2 contractors.

The case will be raised in Parliament

Heidi Alexander, the transport secretary, is expected to bring the alleged fraud up in Parliament this week.

Another supplier for HS2 under investigation, the Danny Sullivan Group, has been suspended from creating new contracts until the inquiry has finished.

A HS2 statement said: “We treat all whistleblower allegations seriously and are continuing to conduct our own investigation.

“Furthermore, HS2 Ltd has formally reported the allegations to HMRC, and we encourage anyone who believes they may have relevant information, which could support our enquiries, to report it in confidence via HS2’s Speak Out channels.”
