HC Deb 22 May 1995 vol 260 cc400-1W
21. Mr. Khabra

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is the projected timetable for the completion of the crossrail project; and if he will make a statement. [23899]

Mr. Norris

The promoters of crossrail continue to prepare their application for powers under the Transport and Works Act 1992 to build crossrail. This is being done in parallel with the study which the promoters are undertaking at my request, with my Department.

Mr. Timms

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what are the implications of studies other than the Montagu committee of public transport in London for the timetable for the deposit of a draft order application in respect of crossrail. [24820]

Mr. Norris

The impact of studies other than the crossrail study, which the promoters are undertaking at my request, with my Department, is marginal. In parallel with this study, the promoters of crossrail continue to prepare their application for powers under the Transport and Works Act 1992 to build crossrail.
