To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the financial impact on the coach industry of the decision by Eurotunnel to reduce the number of coach berths available and to increase charges for the available berths.

Decisions regarding capacity and pricing are commercial ones for Eurotunnel as a private operator, noting that there are a number of options available to customers wishing to travel from the UK to Europe via the short Straits in what is a highly competitive market. Nevertheless, my officials will continue to engage with Eurotunnel and raise this important issue.
