Proceeding contribution from Earl of Mar and Kellie (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Channel Tunnel Rail Link (Supplementary Provisions) Bill.
Channel Tunnel Rail Link (Supplementary Provisions) Bill
I am not sure whether Amendment No. 2, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Hanningfield, is a probing amendment. Based on what we were saying in this Room only six days ago when we were considering the benefit of substituting rail service for air, we do not want the Bill to do anything that will prevent the commencement of services, say, from Birmingham to Brussels and Paris. Such services would be a very good thing. I hope the Bill will do nothing to prevent that type of alteration to railway services.
