Channel Tunnel

47.

Mr. FELL
asked the right hon. Gentleman if he will give an opportunity, at an early date, for discussing the question of the construction of a Channel Tunnel?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE
My right hon. Friend is not prepared to give facilities from Government time for a discussion of this project.

Mr. FELL
Will the right hon. Gentleman consider that this is a question in which immense interest is taken on both sides of the House generally, and that it has not been mentioned in the House for many years; and might we not have a half-day?
