This Order authorises London Underground Limited (referred to in this Order as the Company) to construct and operate works at Bank station in the City of London for the purposes of creating additional passenger access capacity to the Company’s Northern line underground railway at that station. The works include a new southbound running tunnel to carry a diversion of the Northern line together with a new passenger platform at Bank station to serve the diverted line. The Order also authorises cross passages from the proposed new platform to the existing Northern line southbound platform (which will become a new underground passenger concourse serving the Northern line) as well as other works and conveniences to improve passenger access between the Northern line, Central Line and Docklands Light Railway including new step free passenger access at street level within a proposed new station entrance in Cannon Street. The works will also improve emergency, fire and evacuation protection measures currently in place at Bank station. The Order also authorises the compulsory acquisition and temporary use of land for the purposes of the works and confers powers in connection with the construction and operation of the works. A copy of the works plans, sections, land plan and the book of reference mentioned in the Order and certified in accordance with article 47 of this Order may be inspected free of charge during normal working hours at the offices of London Underground Limited at Windsor House, 42-50 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0TL.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
