HC Deb 06 June 1945 vol 411 c877
43. Miss Wilkinson

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether, in view of the importance of improving communications in the north-eastern area, he will give early consideration to the revival of the Jarrow tunnel project so that the plans can be ready as labour becomes available.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

Yes, Sir. My Noble Friend recently discussed this question with the Joint Committee of the Durham and Northumberland County Councils.

Miss Ward

May I ask the hon. Gentleman where the tunnel will emerge?

Mr. Thorneycroft

I cannot say.
