HC Deb 12 December 1929 vol 233 cc653-4
67. Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

asked the Minister of Health whether in view of the fact that there are no effective regulations for the operations of speed boats at seaside places, he proposes to invest local authorities with full powers to deal with these craft?

Mr. GREENWOOD

If the boats which the hon. Member has in mind are those carrying passengers for hire, local authorities have substantial powers under the Public Health Acts, and it rests with them to exercise them.
