§ Mr. Gerald BowdenTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what discussions he has had with British Rail and the developers of the King's Cross site about the choice of the London terminal for the channel tunnel rail link.
§ Mr. FreemanThe choice of preferred location for the second London terminal for channel tunnel rail services was made by British Rail. My approval to British Rail's investment plans for the station will be required before they can proceed. The terms of the agreement with the developers and other land owners are a matter for British Rail; but this Department has had discussions with British Rail and the developers on the implications for the road and public transport networks in the King's Cross area.
