Proceeding contribution from Lord Pickles (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 October 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Crossrail Bill.


Crossrail Bill (Carry Over)

Does the Secretary of State agree that the new Minister with responsibility for Crossrail is right when he says that the case for it has to be financially robust? The Minister also said that the choice is Crossrail without Woolwich or no Crossrail. Is the financial case so delicate that Woolwich would push it over the edge? If so, why not examine other stations?
