HC Deb 11 June 1991 vol 192 c525W
19. Mr. Ronnie Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the employment implications for the north-east of the completion of the channel tunnel.

Mr. Forth

The channel tunnel should benefit the economy and employment prospects of the United Kingdom generally. I am sure that companies and individuals in the north-east will take full advantage of the opportunities presented by the tunnel.
