HC Deb 27 February 1924 vol 170 c460
63. Mr. PENNY

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the recent representations made by the Government to the Thames Conservancy with a view to expediting work for the unemployed, some arrangement can be made for utilising the services of the unemployed in repairing the towpaths of the River Thames between Kingston Bridge and Hampton Court?

The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Jowett)

It is not clear at the moment as to what body is responsible for the maintenance of this towpath, but the question is being investigated in view of the urgent need for action.
