HOUSE OF COMMONS

MINUTES OF EVIDENCE

taken before the

COMMITTEE

on the

CROSSRAIL BILL

DAY EIGHTEEN

Thursday 16 March 2006

Before:

Mr Alan Meale, in the Chair

Mr Brian Binley

Mrs Siān C James

 

 

Ordered: that Counsel and Parties be called in.

4624. CHAIRMAN: Mr Mould, you seem to be the only character here today.

4625. MR MOULD: Sir, I will see if I can lose anyway! Sir, the position is that Seymour Investments, I believe, have received a second House undertaking, so that deals with their position as far as this House is concerned. The Petition of National Car Parks is to be resolved on terms, and I think that Miss Jones has been informed of that, so they do not appear today. With regard to SME (Hammersmith) Limited, we have been seeking to find out what their position is through their agent, and I understand from instructions I have that he has not had instructions from his client in recent times. We were obviously waiting to see whether anybody did turn up to present their Petition, and as far as I know that is not the case; so this is their slot and they are not here.

4626. CHAIRMAN: They have had their opportunity. We are very pleased that you have managed to try and attempt to resolve the other two issues. The Committee will meet next Tuesday at 10 am. Thank you very much.
