HC Deb 21 January 1999 vol 323 cc561-2W
Dr. Cable

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what is his Department's current estimate for the(a) completion and (b) commissioning of the Jubilee Line Extension. [66639]

Dr. Reid

London Transport plan to open the Jubilee Line Extension in three phases (firstly Stratford to North Greenwich, then on to Waterloo and finally to Green Park and connection with the existing Jubilee Line). Commissioning will thus overlap with the final completion of the construction and fitting out work. Commissioning work is already in hand. London Transport aims to have all three phases commissioned and in operation by the autumn.
