39. Mr. Ian Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what is his latest estimate of jobs created by the construction of the Channel tunnel.

Mr. David Mitchell

I have been asked to reply.

It is estimated that about 100,000 man years of work will be generated in the United Kingdom by Eurotunnel and British Rail work on the Channel tunnel and its equipment during its construction.
