HC Deb 24 May 1990 vol 173 c292W
Mr. Hanley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimates his Department has made as to the approximate cost of constructing(a) new cross-London railway links and (b) new underground railway links in London, at 1990 prices.

Mr. Freeman

The east-west crossrail and Chelsea to Hackney line proposed by the central London rail study would respectively cost about £1.4 billion and £1.8 billion to build at today's prices. The Jubilee line extension will cost over £1 billion at today's prices. No other proposals for new cross-London or underground links have been submitted to the Department.
