- Page 322, column 3, leave out line 14 and insert--
The noble Lord said: I beg to move.
Lord Berkeley: I would like to seek clarification from my noble friend about Amendment No. 149, which removes a part of Clause 41 of the Channel Tunnel Act. The part it removes relates to the application of the Central Transport Consultative Committee as it applies in relation to services and specifically as provided by the Railways Board or any subsidiary. I wonder if my noble friend would be able to tell me--or if he cannot today perhaps he could write and tell me--what are the obligations under this Bill for Eurostar services or rail freight services through the Channel Tunnel? If they were stopped tomorrow, is there any obligation on the board or its successor to keep the Eurostar services going? If there is no obligation, what would happen to the rolling stock concerned? Would it be scrapped or is there a requirement to return it to the Government?
Lord Macdonald of Tradeston: I shall accept the invitation of my noble friend Lord Berkeley and write to him on that matter.
On Question, amendment agreed to.
