FITTING-OUT OF NEW ST PANCRAS THAMESLINK STATION

Early day motion 376, tabled 21 June 2005 by Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 16 members.

That this House notes the re-opening of the Thameslink through-route and congratulates Thameslink and its contractors for completing construction of the new Thameslink St Pancras box station on time; regrets that funding has not been made available to fit-out the new Thameslink station at St Pancras and that no timetable for resolving the funding crisis has been established; commends Michael Green for using the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to highlight this financial shortfall; and calls on the Government to draw up immediately a plan to resolve this crisis.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 7, Labour 6, Conservative 2, DUP 1.
