HC Deb 27 January 1989 vol 145 c763W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the implications for the central London rail study of a decision to locate the second London terminal for the Channel tunnel in(a) Stratford and (b) King's Cross.

Mr. Portillo

(holding answer 16 January 1989]: The study team has taken account in its work of major developments in London, including those associated with the Channel tunnel. British Rail has also considered the possible effect of the east-west crossrail proposal on the choice between King's Cross and Stratford.

Further work will be done in the detailed studies of the options that my right hon. Friend announced on 26 January.
