§ Mr. Craigenasked the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received from Glasgow district council requesting amendments to the Channel Tunnel Bill to ensure that through train services across and around London provide links between the tunnel and Glasgow.
§ Mr. MooreNone. I understand however that the district council has submitted to the Select Committee of another place, which is at present considering the Channel Tunnel Bill, a petition which covers this point. The Government have already accepted at Report stage in this House the principle of an amendment to the Bill which would require British Rail to draw up plans for the dispersal of Channel tunnel rail services to destinations beyond London.
