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


Crossrail Bill [Instruction No. 2]

The Secretary of State has pointed out that if Crossrail were to stop at Liverpool Street, it would not be economically viable. A consensus seems to be building in the House, and we are all agreed that it should go to Ilford, but perhaps that is where it should stop. The hon. Member for Ilford, South (Mike Gapes) is enthusiastic for the Crossrail project to go ahead, and I hope that the Secretary of State will consider placing the huge depot not in Romford but in Ilford, South, and that he will have the privilege of that, too.
