§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Transport what applications have been made to him for the investment of British money to finance the proposed Channel Tunnel and Channel Bridge; and what replies he has given to such applications.
§ Mr. CarmichaelNone. The British and French Governments agreed in 1964 that a rail tunnel was the preferable form for a fixed cross-channel link. Subsequent invitations to submit financing proposals were limited to that basis.
