HC Deb 10 February 1976 vol 905 c142W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement of his views on the proposals currently put to him by British Rail for the development of hovercraft services.

Dr. Gilbert

I have informed the Board that in principle I accept its case for the enlargement of its cross-Channel hovercraft. Discussions are now proceeding on financial issues.
