HC Deb 09 July 1998 vol 315 c584W
Mr. Snape

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will review the costs and benefits of the environmental protection works associated with phase two of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, between Ebbsfleet and King's Cross. [49467]

Ms Glenda Jackson

Few CTRL works in phase two are concerned exclusively with environmental protection and decisions on extensive tunnelling were taken for engineering reasons as much as for environmental reasons. It is not practicable, therefore, to separate environmental protection costs from the total.
