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


Crossrail Bill (Carry Over)

The question goes beyond affordability and how much the project will cost. Who is doing the paying? London is already taking an extra hit to pay for the 2012 Olympics, so does the Secretary of State agree that this very necessary project should be funded by the national taxpayer rather than the London taxpayer?
