    Question

    Andrew Nussey from Peel Hunt asked if the rephasing of the HS2 project would hinder future revenue growth in U.K. Construction and inquired about the scope and findings of the monitor in the U.S. military housing business.

    CFO Phil Harrison explained that the HS2 rephasing is not expected to be an issue for 2023 or 2024 forecasts and could increase revenues later.
