HC Deb 27 May 1879 vol 246 c1353
CAPTAIN PIM

asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade, When the Report of the Thames Traffic Committee will be laid upon the Table of the House?

MR. J. G. TALBOT

The Thames Traffic Committee have almost reached the end of their labours, and we hope to be able to lay their Report upon the Table shortly after Whitsuntide.

LORD FRANCIS HERVEY

asked, Whether the Committee would report on the danger to the navigation of the upper Thames which arose from small boats and steam launches?

MR. J. G. TALBOT

I fear I cannot give my noble Friend as much information as I should have desired, having only just had Notice of his Question; but I can state generally that I feel sure the Thames Traffic Committee have given their fullest attention to all matters connected with the traffic on the river, and I will take care that this particular subject shall be brought to their special attention.
