§ SIR JAMES WHITEHEAD (Leicester)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he can 666 state when it is intended to introduce Provisional Order Bills for the confirmation of the Board of Trade's proposed tolls, charges, and conditions in regard to five of the canals, Schedules relating to which were dealt with at the recent Board of Trade Inquiry; and whether it is the intention of the Board of Trade to make any alterations in the draft Schedules published by them, prior to introducing the Provisional Order Bills into Parliament?
§ MR. MUNDELLAI hope to introduce the Provisional Order Confirmation Bills in respect of the five canals already dealt with by the Board of Trade at an early date after Easter. Since the promulgation of the draft Schedules referred to by my hon. Friend various amendments have been pressed upon the Board of Trade, both on behalf of the Railway Companies and the traders, and some of these will be embodied in the Provisional Orders.
