Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Crossrail Bill.
Crossrail Bill
Hon. Members should not worry. Everyone will have a chance to intervene. On this occasion, patience will be rewarded. The hon. Member for Brentwood and Ongar’s instruction would restrict the termini to Paddington and Liverpool Street stations, which would make it far narrower than the Government are proposing. I must say that it would destroy the economic case for the development because unless the railway line runs beyond the two ends of the tunnel, it becomes an extremely expensive proposition.
