§ Mr. StephenTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what was the estimated rate of return on investment for the previously proposed channel tunnel rail link route and the current estimated rate of return from investment for the route which he has now decided.
§ Mr. FreemanEstimates of the relative benefits and costs of different route options are contained in British Rail's "Comparison of Routes", published in October 1991, copies of which were placed in the Library of the House. British Rail is currently refining the easterly route, and it is too early to provide information on rates of return.
