§ LORD EDMUND FITZMAURICE (Wiltshire, Cricklade)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Board of Trade if any communications have recently taken place in regard to the construction of the Channel Tunnel between the British and French Governments; and if it is proposed by His Majesty's Government to continue the prohibition which has for so many years prevented the further progress of the works on the British side of the Channel.
§ MR. BONAR LAWI am not aware that any communications have recently taken place or that anything has happened to alter or modify the position which has been assumed with regard to this matter.
