§ Mr. Beanasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has yet received the report of the committee chaired by Sir Alec Cairncross on the Channel Tunnel project.
§ Mr. CroslandYes. The report will be published as soon as possible. I am most grateful to Sir Alec and his colleagues for the way they have carried out a complex remit in difficult circumstances. Their comments and recommendations will be of great value both in the assessment of any revived tunnel project and in the development of cross-Channel services over the next few years.
