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


Crossrail Bill [Instruction No. 2]

May I echo the comments of my hon. Friends the Members for Ilford, South (Mike Gapes), for Hackney, South and Shoreditch (Meg Hillier) and for Hackney, North and Stoke Newington (Ms Abbott) and welcome Crossrail on behalf of my constituents? Will my right hon. Friend confirm, however, that the Government are keen to encourage the use of waterways, particularly the River Lea, to minimise the impact of waste removal and disruption to local road networks and residents, which will clearly be caused by the creation of this railway?
