§ Mr. Chris SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether the investment programme for London Transport for the period 1991–92 to 1994–95 announced on 6 November was set with London Underground's plans for the construction of a low level interchange at King's Cross underground station in mind; what plans London Underground has to proceed with this construction and against what proposed schedule; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. FreemanThe grant settlement announced on 6 November took into account the totality of London Transport's investment plans. With the exceptions of the Jubilee line extension and east-west crossrail. the settlement did not earmark funds for specific projects. The apportionment of the settlement between the different subsidiaries is a matter for London Transport, and the timing of particular underground schemes is a matter for London Underground Ltd.
