Business of the House

I am grateful to the Minister for his generosity in giving way to me a second time, but he has just implied that the Select Committee will be able to look at the issue of the termini on the Crossrail line. In fact, the Government instruction expressly forbids the Select Committee from looking at alternative termini for that line. He says that it is a matter of principle for the Government, so why are they refusing to give the Select Committee permission to look at alternative termini?
