Ah, £2.5 billion sounds more like it: the figure Janet gave was £2.5 trillion.... And yes, given the inevitable-seeming huge cost escalation that almost invariably occurs in public works - the Channel Tunnel cost nearly double its original estimate - I think even £3.5 billion for the tunnel will turn out to be overoptimistic and £7 billion is more realistic. But I agree that it's certainly needed, I don't think anyone disputes that. |
