HC Deb 14 October 1996 vol 282 c690W
Mr. Callaghan

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on his plans to relieve current levels of congestion on London Underground. [39963]

Mr. Bowis

London Underground has in hand a range of measures which will help to relieve congestion, including increases in train frequencies and station improvements. Implementation of these plans is an operational matter for London Underground. Longer term improvements will come from major investments in new lines when current projects such as the Jubilee line extension and the Heathrow progress are completed.
