THE BRICK LANE LONDON E1 AREA CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE CROSSRAIL HOLE BILL 2005 has learnt that despite being asked to show evidence in justification for allocating one hundred £million to the crossrail promoters, secretary of state for transport Alistair darling mp has failed to do so.
The only ‘evidence’ is contained in the ‘HOUSE OF LORDS’ statement made by Alistair darling’s co-minister
Described in the ‘house of lords hansard’ as ‘lord davies of Oldham’. The Davies is quoted in the Hansard as made the utterances (see further down) confirming the payment.
Our associated voluntary organisation for audit of public cash allocations and powers peoples audit on 15 December 2005 asked the department for transport to provide a breakdown on the alleged use by crossrail promoters of this latest £100 million of public cash.
The constitutional law points at this stage include this - what is the point of setting up a select committee of mps to ‘scrutinise’ the contents and the full implications on all the affected communities and peoples of the crossrail bill (the scrutiny is said to be scheduled to start in January 2006) when the government is making such a huge sum of public money available to the promoters?
It is not implied flouting of the House of Commons.
It is not suspected flouting of the House of Commons. It is open defiance of any existence of any legitimate say on the party of the whole of House of Commons. For every select committee is constitutionally in being with the authority of the whole House of Commons and thus of the UK parliament.
The fact that an Mps’ ‘SELECT COMMITTEE’ has been set up to examine the Crossrail hole BILL and the fact that that Bill is not yet in the statute book means that the government is acting unconstitutionally and illegally in paying any public cash at this stage to the very parties and interests whose plans and whose alleged reasoning are yet to be examined and given any verdict bon by the Mps’ SELECT COMMITTEE.
Unless of course Blair is saying to all the innocent believers in ‘the sovereignty of the Brutish Parliament that he doesn't give a damn about any mps select committee.
Just as Alistair Darling is saying two fingers to the same small group of mps that has been listed as members of the committee that will scrutinise the crossrail bill staring in January!!!!
The Khoodeelaar! (BRICK LANE LONDON E1 AREA NO TO CROSSRAIL HOLE ATTACKS) Campaign stated as far back as 19 July 2005 that the mps ‘debate’ held as part of the formality to give the procedural second reading to the crossrail hole bill was no more than mere formality.
That the so-called debate was a sham.
That the UK HOUSE OF COMMONS was not being treated by the vast majority of MPs themselves as the democratic forum, to speak freely on behalf of the electors and for the people far less to tell the truth .
We are not thrilled today [Wednesday 21 December 2005] to report that the latest display of a £100 Million abuse by Tony Blair’ group of their access to and the ‘political’ control of the executive in the British parliamentary system will do nothing at all to assist any future spin by anyone – whether nominally academic or brazenly careerist – who would seek to substantiate any claim to the effect that ‘our democratic parliamentary system works and it is respected by our elected holders of the most powerful offices in the land’!
[We shall continue this analysis]
FOR NOW, HERE IS WHAT ALISTAIR DARLING’S CO-MINISTER HAD TO SAY IN THE ‘HOUSE OF LORDS’:-
“
My right honourable friend the secretary of state for transport (Alistair darling) has made the following ministerial statement. I am today making an additional £100 million available for the further development of crossrail. This money will be used by cross London rail links (clrl the company held jointly by the department and tfl to assist them with promotion of the crossrail bill to provide proper support to the project as we take the crossrail hybrid bill through parliament over this period. It will also allow clrl, working with the
Department and tfl, to do necessary research and planning before the crossrail scheme can enter its next phase of development. The case for crossrail is clear and the government have long said that they are committed to the scheme. This is a further sign of that commitment. This is a complex long-term project but important features are being determined at this stage. Money spent properly now will see its reward later in a better planned, better designed and therefore better value for money final scheme. But that does not mean that resource is unlimited. The grants I am announcing today will allow clrl to make a start on a detailed programme of work for the development of crossrail. My department will continue to monitor expenditure on the project to ensure best value as the bill continues through parliament. These grants will be paid to clrl by my department under section 6 of the railways act 2005. ”

ALISTAIR DARLING told against letting £100m Crossrail cash be abused as bribe et
23.12.2005 13:03
To Alistair Darling MP
Dear Alistair,
Questions to ALISTAIR DARLING (MP, Secretary of State, UK Transport Department) about the 'uses' and abuses of the £100M he (A Darling) has just granted for CROSSRAIL promotion
1. The statement made on your behalf in the (UK) House of Lords by your colleague (the peer called Davies) refers in effect to the ‘power’ as being made available in section 6 of the Railways Act 2005 when you had made the grant of £100Million available to the Cross London railway (CLRL).
2. However, the contents of Section 6 of the Railways Act 2005 do not show any requirement that the fund/s made available under the statute (‘The Railways Act 2005’) will have to be publicly accounted for and that a rigourous and independent and publicly inspectable and needed regime of accountability and justification would prevail over and around all the uses of the granted public fund/s.
3. That raises the most obvious possibility that a part (or more) of the fund/s may well be open to abuse and in the context of the FACTS of the many corrupt tendencies that have been shown by the main bands of the anti-society, anti-social, pro-sleaze promoters of the Crossrail hole Bill plans as far as these violate the very future stability, existence of the community in the Brick Lane London E1 Area, the chances of such abuses are very real.
4. As we have shown during the past 2 years in our representations, in our analyses and in the evidence against the plan for a Crossrail hole in the Brick Lane London E1 Area and as we have also highlighted those in our questions put to you against the Crossrail hole plans and against the Crossrail hole Bill,
5. Identified members of the controlling group on the present Tower Hamlets Council have made several totally untruthful statements in the area quite wrongly and unlawfully and dishonestly ‘asserting’ that the Crossrail hole attacks as planned on the community would mean that there would be ‘benefits’.
6. The identified pluggers have all been associated with the controlling group on the present Tower Hamlets Council. Either they have been members of the Council. Or they have been overly paid agents or contractors and employees of the present Council.
7. No member of the public in the Borough of Tower Hamlets who is not linked with the controlling group on the present Tower Hamlets Council has said or implied that there could be anything but disaster for the community unless the Crossrail hole plan in the Brick Lane London E1 Area is stopped completely.
8. Your granting of such a large amount of public cash to the secretly operated CLRL makes it very possible for substantial misuse in promoting the series of lies for a Crossrail hole by temporarily diverting or distorting the focus of the community's attention with the abuse of funds that may well be channelled into the hands of elements that the CLRL and your Department wishes to influence in order that the Crossrail, hole plan would remain as it is in the Crossrail Bill.
9. What is the actual mechanism that is in place to show that our observation and analysis and apprehension are not factually founded?

Crossrail hole attack - Defend the community in the Brick Lane London E1 Area

London Sunday 25 December 2005
Our community is being destroyed, our lives destroyed, livelihoods taken away from us.
The Crossrail hole scheme, the Crossrail hole Bill is not a distant possibility.
It is too close to home for us to ignore or overlook it.
The Brick Lane London E1 area hosiers a very diverse number of people in a relatively small space that is being used as a resource by families and individuals in a way that is helpful to society.
That is also very good for the overall wellbeing of the local community.
If the Crossrail hole plan is allowed to go ahead then all of this will be lost.
Thousands of local people will be robbed of things that they have struggled over for years to make something their lives.
When a community is destroyed there is no recovering from that destruction for the people affected.
We must act to stop the Crossrail hole being given the go-ahead by the preset Blair government.
We can do something to stop this from happening.
We can act in time to put a stop to an unnecessary destruction of a community area
