50 Years Ago

摘要

In a statement made simultaneously in both Houses of Parliament on February 6, the Government announced that as a result of investigations undertaken jointly both the British and the French Governments considered that the construction of a rail Channel tunnel was technically possible, and that in economic terms it would represent a sound investment of their resources. The two Governments had therefore decided to go ahead with this project, and the next step would be to discuss further in particular the legal and financial problems involved.
