TFT. I asked earlier what Mansell's terms of reference were: HMG is denying that he was asked to look at costs. That rather begs the question: what was the point of the report in the first place? The main focus seems to be on the cost of compulsory purchase of properties on the route. I can't help wondering whether some forced vendors have managed to achieve a better price than was intended and perhaps that is the real issue of concern, not the actual costs of construction.
