§ Sir Fergus Montgomeryasked the Secretary of State for Transport if the involvement of British Steel and British Shipbuilders in the Euroroute consortium will affect the financial criteria laid down by Her Majesty's Government that the scheme should be entirely privately financed.
§ Mr. David MitchellNo. Their limited involvement has been authorised on the basis that it does not extend to the financing of construction of a Channel fixed link and that it carries no future financial commitment.
