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


Crossrail Bill

My hon. Friend is right. Several of us were comforted by the comments made by the Secretary of State earlier, but if the Committee will not be able to consider the location of the termini—and whether the line should be extended to Reading—it will make a mockery of the Secretary of State’s remarks this afternoon and of the Government’s intention to consider whether to safeguard the line through to Reading. I hope that the Minister will be able to clarify the position when he winds up.
