HC Deb 20 March 1913 vol 50 c1203
54. Sir HOWELL DAVIES

asked if the President of the Board of Trade contemplates, at an early date, proposing any legislation to give effect to the Report of the recent Commission on English Canals?

Mr. ROBERTSON

I am afraid I can make no promise of legislation on this subject at present.

Sir H. DAVIES

May I ask the hon. Gentleman whether the Board of Trade have any views on this question?

Mr. ROBERTSON

The views of the Board of Trade are rather negative.
