Original Note:
HS2 has purchased 239 properties for Phase 2a at a total of £219.3M. In order to "lose £100M", those properties would have to be resold at approx 60% of their purchase price. There is no official position regarding whether the properties will be sold at a loss. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/oct/05/sunaks-spiteful-sale-of-land-intended-for-hs2-dashes-hopes-of-revival
