Proceeding contribution from Tom Harris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Crossrail Bill.


Crossrail Bill

I can indeed give the hon. Gentleman that reassurance. We had a number of productive debates in the Public Bill Committee on the issue. It is not in the Government's interest—and it is certainly not in CLRL's interest—to force the compulsory sale of land that is not going to be used either temporarily or permanently for the construction of Crossrail. I assure him that the transparency measures in the Bill will ensure that that happens. Lords amendment agreed to. Lords amendments Nos. 47 to 56 agreed to [some with Special Entry].
