Proceeding contribution from Lord Adonis (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 29 October 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Rail Vehicle Accessibility Exemption Orders (Parliamentary Procedures) Regulations 2008.

Rail Vehicle Accessibility Exemption Orders (Parliamentary Procedures) Regulations 2008

It will cost a great deal of money, but I do not have the precise figures to hand because it is part of the wider refurbishment of the Victoria line. Actually, miraculously I do have the figures to hand. It will cost £800 million. As I said, it is part of a wider programme of Victoria line refurbishment, which will include the provision of these new lifts. It is an expensive business, but I think we would all agree that it is immensely worthwhile as it promotes access to the Underground for disabled people. On Question, Motion agreed to.
