Proceeding contribution from Martin Salter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 October 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Crossrail Bill.
Crossrail Bill (Carry Over)
It is touching of the hon. Gentleman to make it clear that in government he would be prepared to find the resources to fund such an incredibly expensive project. Will he remind the House how many hundreds of millions of pounds he and his party were committed to stripping out of the transport budget as a result of the James review, published at the last election? There would not have been a penny piece left for Crossrail—or for anything else—if he had had his way.
