HC Deb 16 February 1994 vol 237 cc779-80W
Ms Gordon

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what further work he expects to be undertaken in the next year on plans for the extension of the east London line.

Mr. Norris

London Underground Ltd submitted an application to the Secretary of State for an order under the Transport and Works Act 1992 to grant it powers to construct the proposed northern extension to the East London line on 30 November 1993. If powers are granted, it is envisaged that the scheme would be taken forward as a joint venture with the private sector.
