    The multi-billion pound Crossrail scheme will effectively destroy an important museum in east London, its chairman will tell MPs.

    The Museum of Immigration and Diversity in Spitalfields is above the proposed route of the high-speed rail link.

    Its chairman, Susie Symes, said the consequences could be devastating for the listed 18th Century property.

    Transport for London (TfL) said the museum would not be affected, but would benefit from the rail link.

    The rail link would stretch from Berkshire to Essex, through tunnels beneath London, but funding has yet to be secured.
