Boris Johnson's father reveals concerns over HS2 compensation scheme.

Boris Johnson’s father has attacked the “deeply flawed” government compensation scheme for property owners facing years of blight because of the High Speed 2 rail route.

Stanley Johnson said the proposed compensation was a “real attack on investments”, “unfair” and needed to be “revised very significantly”.

His Regent’s Park home is just a few metres outside a compensation zone surrounding the £33billion HS2 railway.

The word "tough" comes to mind.
