asked the Secretary of State for Transport what implications does the development proposal for the Canary wharf site in the Isle of Dogs enterprise zone have for the docklands light railway.

I understand that the consortium which has expressed interest in the development of the Canary wharf site has proposed an extension of the Docklands light railway to the Bank which would be financed by private capital. It is too early to know whether this proposition will proceed or to make an assessment of its implications for the Docklands light railway.
