Proceeding contribution from Mike Gapes (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 January 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Crossrail Bill.

Crossrail Bill [Instruction No. 2]

My constituents in Ilford, South and many other residents of the London borough of Redbridge and other boroughs between Liverpool Street and Shenfield would be appalled if the line were truncated at Liverpool Street. Many people travel throughout Essex into work in London and use that line. In Ilford, we are looking forward to a new station being built to cope with Crossrail and a new entrance and redesign as part of Ilford’s regeneration. My constituents are therefore supportive of my right hon. Friend’s statement that the line will not be truncated.
