    Jennette Arnold (Chair): OK. We have four more speakers. I will take Assembly Member Copley. Tom Copley (AM): I wanted to ask you a few questions on Crossrail 2, which it is pleasing to note there is cross-party support for -- Jenny Jones (AM): No. Tom Copley (AM): -- or almost cross-party support for it. First of all, can you update us on discussions you have had with the Government since the election regarding Crossrail 2?

    OK. Good. What sort of engagement have you been having with broader London, other stakeholders like Network Rail and London businesses?

    • Question by: Tom Copley

    When you are having your discussions with the Government, there are two options, really, that they have identified for Crossrail 2, one of which is a smaller scale metro option and the other is a more expensive regional option but with probably far more longer-term benefits. Are you pushing the Government for the more expensive version of this, which would deliver greater economic benefits in the long term to London?

    Of course. You have actually pre-empted a question I was going to ask about Euston's ability to cope without Crossrail 2 if HS2 does go ahead. Do you think it is the case, then, that HS2 cannot go ahead into Euston if we do not get Crossrail 2?
