Proceeding contribution from Mike Gapes (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Crossrail Bill.


Crossrail Bill

The hon. Gentleman referred to the Mayor of London making information"““available to all who are eligible and registered to vote in the London Mayoral or Greater London Authority elections””." Why should the information not also be made available to all residents of the United Kingdom and to the House of Commons? I do not understand why the new clause is so narrow, given that it concerns a project of national importance. I speak as a London Member of Parliament, but surely, in view of the importance of Crossrail to the whole country, all the information that the hon. Gentleman is requesting should be made available to all members of the public.
