HC Deb 17 April 1917 vol 92 c1506
25. Mr. LYNCH

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the possibility of the War being prolonged over some years, he will enter into communication with the French Government with the suggestion of submitting to the study of a small Committee of Experts, representing this country and France, the question of undertaking the construction of the Channel Tunnel?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Bonar Law)

This question has been carefully considered, but it has not been found practicable to proceed further with the matter during the continuance of the War.

Mr. LYNCH

Has the right hon. Gentleman considered that America is evidently making plans for a long war?
