The agreement itself does not procure additional freight capacity, nor was it ever intended to. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, to ensure value for money, Eurotunnel has agreed that the entirety of the settlement sum will be used on projects to improve security, traffic flow and infrastructure resilience around the Channel tunnel site.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 27/03/2019 13:43:15 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2019 answer text <p>The principal role of the Government has been to agree the specific areas of expenditure, ensuring that they have wider security and infrastructure resilience benefits. It is for Eurotunnel, not Government, to determine the selection and prioritisation of projects. Government will, consistent with the Settlement Agreement, consider how the expenditure is committed or expended. If there are concerns about whether it is being used for a permitted purpose it would fully exercise its rights under the dispute resolution process.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 22/03/2019 12:33:50 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2019 answer text <p>The Settlement Agreement does not limit the expenditure to specifically new projects. However, the settlement, by requiring expenditure on security and infrastructure resilience, secures specific commitments by Eurotunnel to spending on these areas – securing the benefits that such improvements provide. The money cannot be spent on routine maintenance or operational costs.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 22/03/2019 12:42:54 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
