Jubilee Line Tunnelling Contract

EDM number 2529 in 1992-93, proposed by Joan Ruddock on 27/10/1993.

That this House notes with concern reports that the bulk of tunnelling contracts for the Jubilee Line have been awarded provisionally to foreign companies; believes this will adversely affect the ability of British companies to compete with foreign competition for future tunnelling contracts such as Crossrail and the Hackney/ Chelsea link; is further concerned to learn that Italstrade may be one of the companies involved in the Jubilee contract; and asks the Government to make a statement on the current fraud investigations taking place in Italy into Italstrade.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
