HC Deb 06 February 1989 vol 146 c538W
Mr. David Shaw

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether it is still Government policy to ensure that improvements to the road and rail access to the ferries sailing from the port of Dover should take place in a manner consistent with enabling the ferries to compete in a fair manner with the proposed Channel tunnel after 1993.

Mr. Portillo

Yes. We are firmly committed to an even-handed approach towards the tunnel and the ferries.
