Extension of initiative on Channel Tunnel.
UK won over £1.1 billion of orders; 78% by
value on UK side, 50% overall.
By end of October TML had placed over
101,000 sub-contracts and supply orders
for UK works worth £1.4 billion; half of
this total value (£700 million) was
accounted for by just 168 orders thus
illustrating the scope and potential workh
of smaller orders and sub-contracts on
major projects.
