§ Lord Harris of Greenwichasked Her Majesty's Government:
When will the East London line reopen.
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Transport (Viscount Goschen):The timing of the re-opening of the East London line will depend on the outcome of London Underground's re-application to the London Docklands Development Corporation for listed building consent to strengthen and waterproof the tunnel which carries the line under the Thames.
