HC Deb 03 March 1999 vol 326 c730W
Mr. Ottaway

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what is his current estimate of the total cost of constructing the Jubilee Line extension; and if he will make a statement on the changes since his previous estimate. [73001]

Ms Glenda Jackson

London Transport's current estimate of the total cost of constructing the Jubilee Line Extension is £3.2 billion. The estimate referred to in my response of 4 November 1998,Official Report, column 567, was based on a cost review undertaken in August 1998 before the completion date was revised and a three-phase opening strategy adopted.
