HC Deb 13 May 1930 vol 238 c1605
19. Sir KINGSLEY WOOD

asked the Lord Privy Seal what progress has been made with the scheme relating to Liverpool Street Station?

Mr. THOMAS

I cannot at present add anything to the replies which I gave to the hon. Member for Ilford (Sir G. Hamilton) on the 18th February and the 8th April, copies of which I am sending to the right hon. Gentleman.

Sir K. WOOD

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how much, out of the £75,000,000 mentioned by the Chancellor of the Duchy, has been expended already?

Mr. THOMAS

I have said repeatedly, in answer to Members in the House who are very interested in the development of Liverpool Street, that I wanted to encourage the scheme, but I am still waiting on the London and North Eastern Railway Company.

Sir GEORGE HAMILTON

Has the right hon. Gentleman no power of persuasion with the London and North Eastern Railway Company to build a new tube out of Liverpool Street as part of the £75,000,000?
