To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether HS2 Ltd will use bentonite in the construction of High Speed Two Phase one.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether HS2 Ltd will use bentonite in the construction of High Speed Two Phase one.
As was stated in response to a previous question on this subject (160054) from the Honourable Member in July 2018, Bentonite is proposed to be used in the construction of the diaphragm walls for the 5 intermediate shafts in the Chilterns. If necessary, and only when the Environment Agency is satisfied with HS2 Ltd’s final approach, Bentonite may be used in other locations to minimise the impact of tunnelling on existing infrastructure.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the tunnelling of High Speed Two under the Chilterns is planned to involve Bentonite under pressure.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the tunnelling of High Speed Two under the Chilterns is planned to involve Bentonite under pressure.
The operation of the Chiltern tunnel Tunnel Boring Machine will not use bentonite. As HS2 Ltd have always made clear, they will not begin works in the area until the Environment Agency is satisfied with their final approach.
However, it is currently proposed that Bentonite will be used in the construction of the diaphragm walls for the 5 intermediate shafts. Prior to the use of bentonite in these locations the construction methodology dictates that the ground surrounding the diaphragm walls will be grouted, therefore sealing and protecting the ground water from the bentonite.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people received an exemption from the aggregates levy for china clay waste and ball clay waste in (a) 2015-16, (b) 2016-17 and (c) 2017-18.
To minimise administrative burden on business, HMRC’s Aggregates Levy returns do not require taxpayers to specify which relief applies to material that is not subject to tax. It is therefore not possible to establish how many taxpayers benefited from these reliefs.
