HC Deb 08 February 1993 vol 218 c411W
19. Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is the latest position on the plans to extend the Jubilee line.

Mr. MacGregor

Negotiations are continuing with the administrators of Olympia and York Canary Wharf on the terms of an agreement on which they are to contribute towards the cost of the Jubilee line extension. We have made provision for the construction of the extension subject to a satisfactory agreement being reached.

Lady Olga Maitland

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make statement on the current outturn of expenditure on the Jubilee line development relative to budget.

Mr. Norris

Through London Underground Ltd., the Government have spent nearly £160 million preparing to build the Jubilee line extension. The latest approved estimate of the total cost of the extension is £1.5 billion at June 1990 prices—something over £1.8 billion cash.
