HC Deb 17 July 1929 vol 230 c436
85. Mr. WISE

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is giving consideration to the development of a service of passenger steamboats or motor boats on the Thames as one method of easing the traffic congestion?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The matter has been considered on several occasions. While I should welcome such a passenger boat service as an addition to the amenities of London, I do not think that it would materially relieve traffic congestion.
