Grounds against the ‘CrossRail Bill’ as at 1100 Hrs

GMT on Tuesday 8 January 2008 include the following



THAT



1. The contents of the ‘Crossrail Bill’ are NOT

Compatible with the ‘Conventions’. The ‘Conventions’

are as contained in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms

2. The promotion of the ‘Crossrail Bill’ has been done

by unconstitutional, undemocratic, unaccountable and

untruthful ways as evident in the relevant behaviour

over the past four years of the UK Secretary State for

Transport [there have been three holders, in

succession, of that post of Secretary of State since

February 2005 when the actual Bill was introduced in

the House of Commons]

3. The procedures adopted by the ‘House of Commons’

‘Crossrail Bill Select committee’ were contrary to the

Conventions [=the European Convention for the

Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms].

4. The conduct of the ‘House of Commons’ ‘Crossrail

Bill Select committee’ and the obstructions put by that committee in the way of the objectors to the Crossrail hole Bill were contrary to the

Conventions [=the European Convention for the

Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms].

5. The restrictions attaching to the remits and the

agenda as imposed on the ‘House of Commons ‘Crossrail

Bill Select committee’ at Second Reading in the House

of Commons [19 July 2005] were and have been contrary

to the ‘Conventions’ [=the European Convention for the

Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms]

6. The purpose of the ‘Crossrail Bill’ is fabricated, exaggerated, mis-described and or mis-defined by the for a promoter and that purpose is at the

centre of the effects that have been contained in it

as they will apply to the community in the Brick Lane,

Whitechapel and `Stepney London E1 Area and as they

will apply to the adjacent, relevant and wider

geographical, demographic, economic, social and

environmental areas and as covered by, caused by,

implied by the present ‘CrossRail Bill’
