HC Deb 29 July 1931 vol 255 c2277
44. Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Transport the present development of the negotiations regarding the proposed Dartford tunnel; and whether engineering firms with former experience of tunnel work of this character will be consulted before the final specification as to compressed-air poundage will be signed, or whether some elasticity will be allowed in view of the depth and size of the job?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The state of the negotiations remains as indicated in the reply made on my behalf to my hon. Friend's question on the 20th instant. I do not think it necessary to call in other advisers beyond the consulting engineers and the experts already associated with them.
