Mr. Lidington

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what plans he has to take forward the proposals in the Strategic Rail Authority's London East/West Study. [2211]

Mr. Jamieson

As my predecessor announced on 3 May 2001,Official Report, column 739W, under the guidance of the High-Level Group the Strategic Rail Authority and Transport for London are jointly taking forward work on project definition, including alternative service patterns, and design development of a central, cross-London, rail link, and a feasibility study of a south-west to north-east London rail link.

The SRA continues to assess the other potential schemes identified in the London East-West Study.
