Proceeding contribution from Mike Gapes (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 October 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Crossrail Bill.


Crossrail Bill (Carry Over)

My right hon. Friend will know that I supported his early-day motion and that there is a powerful case. What he is saying is extremely strong. However, does he accept that we need Crossrail with or without Woolwich and that the Bill cannot be held hostage to this issue? It is crucial that we make progress so that Crossrail is a reality as soon as possible.
