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)
No: for precisely the reasons that I have given, we want to ensure that Crossrail is on. We want to make sure that this scheme is affordable. We as the Government have an obligation not simply to take forward the promotion of the project through the hybrid Bill process, but to ensure, through the value-engineering that CLRL is taking forward, that we are able to find the funding for the scheme. I would have hoped that there would be cross-House consensus on that.
