HC Deb 02 November 1988 vol 139 c638W
Mr. Speed

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is the total number of representations his Department has so far received about the proposed high-speed rail link to the Channel tunnel.

Mr. Portillo

About 300, mainly from people who are concerned that they might be affected by one of the proposed routes. We are encouraging British Rail to narrow down the options as quickly as possible.
