No cuts to Crossrail, says Hammond

摘要

Transport Secretary Philip Hammond visited the Crossrail station worksite at Canary Wharf on June 15, as well as the offices of Cross-rail Ltd. According to the latest issue of the promoter's Crossrail Bulletin, he said 'the government is committed to this project. We have no plans to reduce its scope'.rnBut he did stress that 'we must ensure that every pound we invest is well spent. 1 am determined that this scheme remains affordable -Londoners, business and the taxpayer would expect nothing less'.
