This Report explains the decisions and recommendations the Select Committee on the Crossrail Bill has made after sitting in public for 84 days of hearings and considering the cases presented on 205 of the 457 petitions deposited against the Crossrail Bill and against the 4 sets of additional provisions deposited by the Government. As a result of these considerations the Committee has made certain amendments to the Bill to meet or partially cover the requirements of Petitioners where we judged it appropriate. There were also a number of issues where the Committee made recommendations or suggested a course of action to the Promoter of the Bill instead of making an amendment to the Bill.
This Report details many, but not all of the cases presented in Committee. The Committee has only commented on cases where it deemed necessary. In all other cases, the Committee was satisfied with the undertakings and assurances offered by the Promoter to the Petitioner.
