In the consultation document 'High speed two: property compensation for London-West Midlands' (October 2012) the Government recognised that in order to build HS2, it will be necessary to compulsorily purchase and demolish a number of social rented homes, principally those close to Euston Station. A ruling of the High Court on 15 March 2013 found that the decision announced in January 2012 to rule out further consideration of a property bond as a potential method of property compensation was unlawful. This was found because the consultation which led to the decision had been unfair as it did not provide enough information on the proposals. In response to the judgment, the Government undertook to consult again on elements of property compensation relevant to the judgment. This document explains the Government's approach to working with local authorities, housing associations, affected tenants and other key stakeholders to agree a joint strategy to replace any lost social rented housing along Phase One of the route

A masterful work of personal reportage, this volume is also a vibrant portrait of a mysterious people and an essential document of a disappearing culture. Fabled, feared, romanticized, and reviled, the Gypsies—or Roma—are among the least understood people on earth. Their culture remains largely obscure, but in Isabel Fonseca they have found an eloquent witness. In Bury Me Standing, alongside unforgettable portraits of individuals—the poet, the politician, the child prostitute—Fonseca offers sharp insights into the humor, language, wisdom, and taboos of the Roma. She traces their exodus out of India 1,000 years ago and their astonishing history of persecution: enslaved by the princes of medieval Romania; massacred by the Nazis; forcibly assimilated by the communist regimes; evicted from their settlements in Eastern Europe, and most recently, in Western Europe as well. Whether as handy scapegoats or figments of the romantic imagination, the Gypsies have always been with us—but never before have they been brought so vividly to life. Includes fifty black and white photos.
