HC Deb 14 March 1991 vol 187 cc634-5W
Mrs. Margaret Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) if he will list those locations being considered by his Department as possible freight terminals offering trunk rail services from Scotland to the channel tunnel;

(2) what provision he is making for relevant bodies, such as regional or district councils in Scotland, to consult his Department on possible freight terminals offering trunk rail services from Scotland to the channel tunnel.

Mr. Freeman

The siting of regional terminals for channel tunnel freight traffic is a commercial matter for British Rail. British Rail is currently discussing possible locations in Strathclyde with local authorities and private sector developers.
