HC Deb 13 January 1997 vol 288 c108W
19. Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate he has made of the cost of establishing an underground connection at Ealing on the Paddington to Heathrow express line; and if he will make a statement. [8767]

Mr. Bowis

None. The Heathrow express scheme to which my hon. Friend the hon. Member refers is being developed by BAA plc and it would be a matter for it to consider if it wished to introduce a stop at Ealing or on any other part of the route. However, a stopping service is proposed to run from St. Pancras to Heathrow. This is likely to include a stop at Ealing Broadway.
