Select Committee on the Crossrail Bill Minutes of Evidence


Examination of Witnesses (Questions 5820 - 5839)

  5820. CHAIRMAN: Please do not think this is any complaint at all, it is a matter of trying to understand what you have done.

  5821. MS JONES: Absolutely. The document which I sent to the Promoter in 2006 is the one that you see with what we call "the track changes". The one with my manuscript notes are what I did a couple of hours ago to make it consistent with the notes which I am going to talk about today and to deal with matters which have popped up, if you like, during the last two years which I have noticed in terms of the settlement issues, so, yes, all the marks on there are mine.

  5822. CHAIRMAN: Yes, in the text there are lots more manuscript amendments, presumably on the same basis?

  5823. MS JONES: That is right, that is what I did an hour or so ago.

  5824. CHAIRMAN: Then there are things that are sidelined?

  5825. MS JONES: And crossed out, correct.

  5826. CHAIRMAN: Are they crossed out? What is the point of sidelining them?

  5827. MS JONES: All the manuscript amendments are what I did about an hour or so ago, all of them.

  5828. CHAIRMAN: Sorry, I am not making myself clear. If I look at the second page of this, I see definitions and there is "The Building" and "The Owner". There is a sideline on the left-hand margin. What, if anything, does that mean?

  5829. MS JONES: If we look at the definition of the authorised works at the end there, there is a little mark which is a little circle and that is the amendment which goes in there at the side.

  5830. CHAIRMAN: That, I assume, is the case. I am looking further down at "The Building" and "The Owner". What is the sideline, the vertical line?

  5831. MS JONES: The actual lines in the text?

  5832. CHAIRMAN: No. There is a line in the margin.

  5833. MS JONES: Yes, sorry. Thank you. That is where it just notifies you when you are looking down that there has been a track change. It is the way that it comes out on the system to alert you to the fact there has been a change in the text.

  5834. CHAIRMAN: The bits that are underlined are the changes?

  5835. MS JONES: The track changes, that is correct.

  5836. CHAIRMAN: Those have been put in by you?

  5837. MS JONES: That is right.

  5838. CHAIRMAN: When?

  5839. MS JONES: In 2006 when I sent it to the Promoter.
