§ Mr. PrescottTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he received the channel tunnel rail link report from British Rail; if he will now make the report public; and if he will make a statement on the Government's decision.
§ Mr. RifkindI received the report on 3 May, but still await some of the supporting material. It is too soon to say when it will be possible to announce a decision. Publishing the report now could cause blight on all the routes that were studied.
