Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which governmental body will make funds available for a feasibility study on developing a highway road tunnel under Morcambe Bay from Heysham M6 Link Road to Barrow-in-Furness.

This is a local issue and it would be for Lancashire and Cumbria county councils as the local highways authorities to consider whether to take forward such a study in consultation with the Local Enterprise Partnerships for their areas.
