HC Deb 13 December 1995 vol 268 c672W
Mr. Khabra

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects the construction of the Crossrail link through London to begin. [3866]

Mr. Norris

This will depend on the view the Government take on the project following their consideration of the latest crossrail study, on appropriate powers being obtained through the Transport and Works Act procedures, and on the necessary private sector financial contribution being secured.
