HC Deb 11 November 1882 vol 274 c1630
MR. M'LAREN

asked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether he intends, next Session, to introduce again the Thames River Bill of 1881, or any part of it as a separate measure?

MR. J. HOLMS (for Mr. CHAMBERLAIN)

Notices have been given of the intention of the Board of Trade to introduce a Bill next Session for the purpose of carrying out a part of what was proposed by the Thames River Bill, 1881; and I understand that notices have been issued by the Thames Conservators that they intend to bring in a Bill dealing with the other objects proposed by that measure. Among the other objects alluded to is the one in which my hon. Friend is so much interested.
