Construction Of Crossrail

EDM number 982 in 2005-06, proposed by Harry Cohen on 08/11/2005.

That this House notes that the Department for Transport's economic appraisal of the Crossrail project forecasts a net benefit to the UK economy of £14 billion; urges the Government to ensure that this major piece of infrastructure is built as soon as possible; and calls for the highest standards of health and safety and terms and conditions for those working on it which is almost certainly best achieved by the workforce being fully trade unionised.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
