HC Deb 03 August 1882 vol 273 c618
MR. BROMLEY DAVENPORT

gave Notice that he would, on Monday, ask the Prime Minister why the Papers on the proposed Channel Tunnel had not yet been laid on the Table, and why the discussion upon them had been deferred so long as to be practically impossible this Session?

MR. CHILDERS

said, he had only today received the final revise of these Papers. They would be laid upon the Table in the course of a few days.

MR. BROMLEY DAVENPORT

asked whether the House would have an opportunity of discussing them?

MR. CHILDERS

said, he did not think it would be possible. He reminded the hon. Member that the Bills before Parliament could not be gone on with this Session.
