Proceeding contribution from Lord Pickles (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Crossrail Bill.


Crossrail Bill

I am grateful to the Secretary of State, but he should not forget the Brentwood part of my constituency—and, more particularly, the Shenfield part. The Secretary of State is being very clear and he is trying to be reasonable about the powers of the Select Committee. Does that reasonableness extend to petitioners? Will they be able to petition Parliament on where the termini should be, or will such petitions be ruled out of order?
