Chairs planning meeting – in which I plan the work program for the Transport Committee with the scrutiny officers, press office and committee staff. Still cranking up after the elections, but the first meeting of the committee scheduled for 22nd July will be Crossrail! This will be my third attempt to get the high ups to attend transport committee to give evidence. With the Government shilly shallying and trying to avoid not only funding Crossrail, but making any sort of move on Crossrail – and the Montague Report still unpublished – I have decided to press on. Public scrutiny will take place this time – or else!
