§ MR. STORY-MASKELYNE (Wilts, Cricklade)asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade, Whether Thames Conservators have framed any bye-laws for the preservation of order and of public rights on the River Thames; and, whether they have taken any steps to carry out the duties laid on them by "The Thames Preservation Act, 1885?"
§ THE SECRETARY (Baron HENRY DE WORMS) (Liverpool, East Toxteth)Last year the Conservators of the River Thames framed a set of bye-laws under the powers conferred on them by Parliament in 1885, in which—in consequence of Petitions which had been received—the Board of Trade suggested some alterations. These alterations have been accepted by the Conservators; and the amended bye - laws, after publication, will, in due course, be submitted for approval by Order in Council.
