§ 46. Mr. Dayasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the changed conditions of aerial warfare and the danger to 23 shipping in the case of a national emergency which would seriously affect food and other supplies of great importance to this country, he will consider moving to appoint a Select Committee to discuss the advantages as a whole of the construction of a Channel tunnel, which, in addition to the labour and material required, would also increase the productive employment in this country?
§ The Prime MinisterThe view of His Majesty's Government is that nothing has occurred since the issue of the White Paper in June, 1930, to cause them to modify the attitude then adopted in relation to the Channel tunnel. The answer to the question is, therefore, in the negative.
§ Mr. DayCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether this question is being considered by the Committee of Imperial Defence?
§ The Prime MinisterNo, Sir.
