Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 October 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Crossrail Bill.
Crossrail Bill (Carry Over)
I am not here to make an argument in favour of or against Woolwich station, but we are talking about £186 million out of a total budget of £13 billion to £16 billion. That is barely 1 per cent. of the whole cost. For the entire issue to hinge on such a relatively small amount of money seems absolutely perverse. I would be interested to know on what basis the Secretary of State thinks that that £186 million somehow tips the whole costing entirely over the edge.
