§ Mr. OrmeTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will make a statement on the latest position on London Underground's plans for the Jubilee line extension at Westminster.
§ Mr. FreemanI am pleased to be able to tell the House that London Underground has now produced a revised design for Westminster station which it believes would better meet the concerns expressed by the House Services Committee. In particular, its new proposal would enable it wholly to avoid using Parliament square as a work site, to reduce the impact upon traffic in the roads surrounding Parliament and to avoid elevated decking in Bridge street. London Underground will shortly be setting out these proposals in a report to the New Buildings Sub-Committee.
