§ 26. Captain GARRO-JONES (for Sir ROBERT THOMAS)asked the Minister 197 of Transport if he is prepared to devote renewed consideration to the question of canals, and especially to the reconditioning of those now derelict, with a view to cheapening the transport of bulky commodities and providing employment on a large scale?
§ Colonel ASHLEYAll forms of transport including transport by canal are continually under my consideration, but I do not propose at the present time to institute any further formal inquiry, either into the question of canals generally or into the question of reconditioning derelict canals.
