HC Deb 26 February 1975 vol 887 cc142-3W
Mr. Ronald Atkins

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish, in reasonable detail, British Rail's proposals for a less costly Channel Tunnel rail link.

Mr. Crosland

The Channel Tunnel project was abandoned before any such proposals were ready for publication.

Mr. Ronald Atkins

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the report of the Cairncross Committee on the Channel Tunnel.

Mr. Crosland

The report is not yet ready. A decision as to publication will be taken when it is received and after discussions with Sir Alec Cairncross and his colleagues.
