asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has received any proposals for the redevelopment of Liverpool Street station; and whether he will make a statement.

I called in proposals submitted in 1976 by the British Railways Board to demolish and redevelop Liverpool Street and Broad Street stations as one new station, with improved Underground and bus interchanges, offices, shops and community facilities. A public inquiry was held and I am presently considering the inspector's report. I shall make a statement when I issue my decision on this scheme.
