§ 14. Mr. Doddsasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation on what date in 1955 work will recommence on the construction of the Dartford-Purfleet Tunnel.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI regret that I cannot add to the answer given to the hon. Member on 19th May.
§ Mr. DoddsBut does not the right hon. Gentleman appreciate that 15th May last is a long way away and 1955 is pretty close and that his answer is intensely disappointing to local authorities and industrialists who expected that with a new Minister something would be done?
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterThe answer to which I draw the attention of the hon. Member referred, as he knows, to action next year, and next year has not yet arrived.
