Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between George Osborne and Carolyn Harris

Tuesday 27th October 2015 Commons Chamber

[Mr Osborne]

Of course I would be very happy to meet my hon. Friend and other Kent MPs affected by the traffic jams that build up when there is disruption at the channel tunnel. We have made available Manston airport as a temporary measure to help alleviate the congestion caused by Operation Stack. There is a proposal from Kent about a much bigger investment in a longer-term solution and I will be happy to talk to my hon. Friend and his colleagues about that.

[Carolyn Harris (Swansea East) (Lab)]
