Orders of the Day — Channel Tunnel Bill

Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 5 December 1973.

Alert me about debates like this

A number of people living in the area, particularly in the village of Newington, which has had much publicity, have to move for personal reasons. I have visited the village. People in three houses have very good reasons for moving, but the moment they put up their houses for sale no one will buy them. I have written to the RTZ organisation asking whether it will buy them because it will obviously need property. RTZ is considering the situation.
