HC Deb 06 July 1882 vol 271 c1610
CAPTAIN AYLMER

asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade, Whether a departmental or other Committee has had under its consideration the effect which the opening of a tunnel between England and France might have on our mercantile marine, and sea-carrying trade; and, if so, whether he will publish its report?

MR. CHAMBERLAIN

So far as I am aware, Sir, no Departmental or other Committee has had under consideration the effect which the opening of a tunnel between England and France might have upon our mercantile marine and sea-carrying trade.
