HC Deb 18 October 1993 vol 230 c27W
Mr. Spearing

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the impact of the proposed London crossrail link on the growth of road traffic in Greater London.

Mr. Norris

Our assessment shows that, over a 30-year period, crossrail would generate road decongestion benefits with a present value worth over £500 million in March 1990 prices.
