Scrap CrossRail hole plot - latest demands to UK Parliament

AADHIKARonline supporting Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole plot | 02.11.2007 12:44 | Analysis | Social Struggles | London | World

Next week's scheduled announcement in the UK Houses of Parliament of the parliamentary/legislative programme ‘[called 'the Queen’s Speech'] is expected to include the current CrossRail Bill as a carry -over from the last session of parliament for it to be given further approval in the next session. The CURRENT CrossRail hole Bill-promoting minister at the UK Department for Transport Tom Harris has already been put on notice that he was out of order to have tried to pre-exempt and to curb serious scrutiny of the Bill in the Upper Chamber [House of Lords] Khoodeelaar! today publishes the texts of the summary of the latest demands for the scrapping of the Bill, not just for its scrutiny.

This is part of the latest Khoodeelaar! ‘No to CrossRail hole plot Bill’ campaign texts that I have written, as part of the constitutional law procedural communication addressed to the Houses of Parliament and to the UK Transport Minister [Secretary of State at the department for Transport]. Khoodeelaar! Campaign against CrossRail hole plot DEMANDS to the UK parliament to scrap the CrossRail hole Bill [the ‘CrossRail Bill’] that is set to be ‘processed’ in the House of Lords after next week’s ‘Queen’s Speech’ formalities.

The printed version of these texts is being supported by the community in the East End today Friday 2 November 2007 and will be formally submitted to the parties addressed in the next week.

“We the undersigned support Khoodeelaar! The Brick Lane, Whitechapel Stepney London E1 and the East End of London campaign against the CrossRail hole attacks, as spelt out over the past 3 years and 10 months [January 2004 to 2 November 2007] of the campaign in defence of the East End of London and we reiterate our support to the current demands made by Khoodeelaar! to the Secretary of state for transport to scrap the parts of the present ‘CrossRail Bill’ that include the provisions for the digging of CrossRail holes in the East End of London and we support the call by the Khoodeelaar! Campaign against ‘the CrossRail hole attacks plans’ for the scrapping of the other provisions concerned as contained in the same ‘CrossRail Bill’ that will cause new and long term tendencies to and incidents of economic losses to the local community and generate new and add to the already existing and the untenable social exclusion, deprivation and environmental damage to the community in the East End of London and we call on the Secretary of State to replace these by thoroughly revising the alignment and other provisions that have been so far cited by or formally inserted or entered in the name of the promoters of the CrossRail Bill as the alleged reason and the alleged pretext for the CrossRail hole attacks on the East End of London and we ask the Secretary of state to do this through and the comprehensive revision f the CrossRail hole ‘plan’ by incorporating the better alternative alignment/s that have been conceptually pointed out by many of the formal objectors and by the Khoodeelaar! campaign over the past 46 months - and those that exist in the design and conceptual domains - and we call on the Houses of Parliament to ensure from this time onwards that the serious democratic and constitutional law deficits that have been found to have been applied by the promoter of the Bill thus obstructing and frustrating the due, the full and the unfettered scrutiny of the contents of the present ‘CrossRail Bill’ in the ‘CrossRail Bill ‘select committee’ in the House of Commons, are not repeated and that the process of scrutiny of the ‘CrossRail Bill’ must be supported to the full by the Secretary of State when the CrossRail Bill is constitutionally considered by the relevant specific select committee that is scheduled to be brought into being and or action in the House of lords following the scheduled Queens Speech in a few days’ time. We also support the Khoodeelaar! Campaign in their comprehensive constitutional and legal action programme including their proposed application/s at the relevant stage/s to the UK domestic courts and to the judicial forums that exist under the UK’s international treaty obligations and we do so as part of our support to and for the Khoodeelaar! Campaign against the CrossRail hole/s plan as these affect the East End of London economically, environmentally, socially and democratically now and in the foreseeable future.”
