Proceeding contribution from Douglas Alexander (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 October 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Crossrail Bill.
Crossrail Bill (Carry Over)
I stand by all the comments that I have made. The scheme needs to be affordable. We made a considered judgment that the addition of not simply a station, but £186 million, was not affordable. That is why I wrote to the Committee in the terms that I did.
