HC Deb 07 December 1933 vol 283 c1828
49. Mr. MANDER

asked the Minister of Transport the present position with regard to the provision of water omnibuses on the Thames?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Lieut.-Colonel Headlam)

I understand that a scheme for the running of motor vessels on the Thames has been prepared by the Thames Water-bus Committee, and that the scheme has been submitted to the London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee, by whom it will be considered at an early date.

Mr. MANDER

Has this been submitted to the London Passenger Transport Board?

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

I understand that it was submitted to the London Passenger Transport Board, but they decided that they had other schemes which were more pressing.
