HC Deb 01 July 2002 vol 388 c102W
Miss McIntosh

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what the cost will be to the Strategic Rail Authority of strengthening the perimeter fence between the Sangatte refugee camp and the entrance to the channel tunnel. [65743]

Mr. Jamieson

The Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) will contribute towards the cost of the works in progress to increase security at the Frethun rail freight terminal, adjacent to the channel tunnel, in order to enable early resumption of full and reliable rail freight services through the channel tunnel. The works will cost around £5 million in total. The amount of the SRA contribution is still to be settled.
