Thanks for your submission regarding HS2 attendance at party conference which Philip cleared earlier this month. I can now confirm that Cabinet Office has also cleared HS2’s attendance provided it’s on a similar basis to previous years.

Kind regards,

As discussed, a note seeking Philip’s approval to HS2 Ltd attendance at 2015 party conferences is attached. We are supportive of their application to attend as cross-party support is important to the project.

If Philip is content with this application, grateful if you pass to the Cabinet Office for their agreement.

Obviously, happy to discuss further.

Many thanks.

Subject: SUBMISSION: Approval request for HS2 Ltd to attend Party Conferences

As discussed, attached is a submission asking for the Perm Sec’s permission for HS2 Ltd to attend Party Conferences this Autumn, in begins;

Summary

1. HS2 Ltd’s public affairs team wish to attend this year’s Party Conferences. This is something they have done annually since 2014. Cabinet Office rules stipulate they must first seek approval from the Permanent Secretary and the Cabinet Office Propriety and Ethics team.

Timing

2. Routine. Autumn party conference season begins at the end of September, but an early response will enable the team to start planning their attendance.

Recommendation

3. That, in line with previous years, you permit HS2 Ltd to attend the Party Conference as proposed.

Please note, I am on leave next week so should be your point of contact if needed.

Many thanks,
