HC Deb 18 November 1986 vol 105 c171W
58. Mr. Lester

asked the Paymaster General whether his Department has estimated the likely effects of the building of the Channel tunnel on tourism in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Trippier

The Government have no such estimates. However, the British Tourist Authority has established a Channel Tunnel National Tourism Committee to consider how best to ensure maximum benefit for the tourist industry.
