§ 45. Mr. THURTLE
asked the Prime Minister if he can now make a statement as to the nature of the inquiry into the Channel Tunnel project and when the inquiry will commence?

If the present Government should remain in power—

§ Mr. SPEAKER
This is a hypothetical question.

§ Mr. SPEAKER
That is also hypothetical.
