83. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Transport if she will give details of non-classified research work being done for her Department by the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough.

Mr. Carmichael

In collaboration with British and French Railways aerodynamic problems of the Channel Tunnel are being investigated; and proposals are under discussion for assisting in a study of transport systems involving the use of fully-automatic tracked cabs. The R.A.E. have also made available three scientists, with supporting facilities, to the central staff of the Transport Research Assessment Group.
