Thank you to the many constituents getting in touch recently with me regarding the financial situation and future of Eurostar.
I very much sympathise with the environmental and climate change aspect of the campaign and agree that it is an important that Eurostar can keep going long into the future as it offers an environmentally friendly, direct, connection to mainland Europe.
Recently in Parliament Chris Heaton-Harris the Minister of State for Railways stated in response to a question on Eurostar:
“Ministers and officials, working with other Government Departments, have engaged extensively with Eurostar since March 2020 in relation to their financial situation. We continue to engage, at both official and Ministerial level, with Eurostar and the French government regarding Eurostar’s financial situation and any potential support proposals.”
This statement from the Minister offers some reassurance and I am confident that the UK and French government will continue to work constructively in this area.
I will continue to monitor the situation as I know it is of importance to many constituents in Truro and Falmouth.
If you would like to discuss this further or any other matter, then please do not hesitate to contact me.
