§ Mr. Juddasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will now take steps on environmental grounds to investigate the need for early commencement on construction of a railhead to serve the new Covent Garden market with particular reference to the decision of the Government to press ahead with the Channel Tunnel; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. PeytonThe provision of a railhead is a matter for British Rail and the Covent Garden Market Authority. They and the Greater London Council are already considering with the Government Departments concerned all the relevant factors, including traffic likely to be generated by the Channel Tunnel.
