met in London last week to discuss the resumption of work on the Dartford-Purfleet tunnel. Lord Sandhurst, chairman of the British Road Federation, said that it was 15 years since the pilot tunnel had been driven and some £850,000 had been spent on the work so far. The Government had agreed to authorize expenditure for the project to be completed, but it was not known when this would be done.
dlr. R. 0. C. Hurst, chairman of the South East England Development Board and a member of Essex County Council, said that delay in building the tunnel would defer important savings in transport operating costs which might well be reflected in export prices.
