HC Deb 21 October 1991 vol 196 cc365-6W
19. Mr. Anderson

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what efforts he is making to ensure that Wales is able to take advantage of the channel tunnel.

Sir Wyn Roberts

Wales enjoys good links into the motorway system leading to the channel tunnel. Planned improvements are set out in "Roads in Wales: Progress and Plans for the 1990s" and the 1991 supplement. Further major schemes to improve communications in Clwyd and South East Wales were announced earlier in the year.

The provision of rail links is a matter for British Rail who are now working up the plans which they announced in 1989 as required by section 40 of the Channel Tunnel Act 1987.
