EUROTUNNEL

Early day motion 1694, tabled 16 September 2003 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 17 members.

That this House recalls that, at the opening of the Eurotunnel, President Mitterand noted France's high-speed route and thanked Britain for allowing passengers sufficient time to 'admire the beauty of the Kent countryside'; and welcomes Britain's first high-speed route, delivered on time and on budget, as the beginning of a new era in which British trains will match the highest standards achieved elsewhere in Europe.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, Labour/Co-operative 2, Independent Ulster Unionist 1.
