HC Deb 06 May 1959 vol 605 c50W
61. Mr. Teeling

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what report he has received on the technical and economic studies now in hand on the Channel tunnel project; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Watkinson

I have kept in touch with the work of the Channel Tunnel Study Group and I have seen the reports which it has published from time to time. The British Channel Tunnel Company has a substantial interest in the work of the group and the Government are satisfied that this country will be adequately represented by the company in any projects that may be put forward.
