Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 November 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

As the Secretary of State for Transport who gave the go-ahead to the Croydon Tramlink, I particularly appreciate that reference. I would welcome a general debate on London. My hon. Friend is right that there is a trade-off between lower fares and the investment programme. If we want to make progress with Crossrail and the upgrade of the tube lines, we need the revenue that the Mayor is currently planning to get from the fare box. If that revenue went down, there would be a knock-on effect on the capital programme.
