HC Deb 06 June 1956 vol 553 c1058
11. Mr. G. Jeger

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what representations he has received from river boards alleging neglect of their responsibilities by the British Transport Commission in regard to the maintenance of river banks; and what general directions he has given as a result.

Mr. Watkinson

None, Sir.

Mr. Jeger

Do I take it from the right hon. Gentleman's reply that he has received no representations from the Yorkshire Ouse River Board complaining that the British Transport Commission is neglecting to maintain the banks of the River Ouse below Goole? Is he prepared to receive representations from me putting the case forward?

Mr. Watkinson

Yes, Sir, certainly.
