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)

The right hon. Gentleman is making a powerful case for Woolwich, which is in his constituency, and I entirely endorse what he says. However, given that in recent years the DLR has linked up with Woolwich, does he not feel that there will be sufficient links to the main London transport networks? I am not trying to make the Government’s argument for them, but does not that make a strong case? We do not need the additional expense of linking Woolwich through the Crossrail system, too.
