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

Crossrail Bill [Instruction No. 2]

Let me remind the hon. Gentleman of what I said a few moments ago. Crossrail is a huge project and hugely expensive, it will be a massive engineering enterprise, and we must have a deliverable proposition. Future generations will look back and regard this as the one and only opportunity for both Houses of Parliament to get it right. It is of huge economic value to the east end of London in particular, to London as a whole, and to the wider country, as I said.
