§ Queen's Recommendation having been signified—
§
Resolved,
That, for the purposes of any Act of this Session to make provision with respect to the disposal by the British Railways Board of part of their undertaking, property, rights and liabilities; to provide for the reconstitution of the British Transport Docks Board under the name of Associated British Ports and to confer on a company powers over that body corresponding to the powers of a holding company over a wholly-owned subsidiary; to dissolve the National Ports Council and amend the Harbours Act 1964; to make further provision for promoting road safety and for connected purposes, it is expedient to authorise the payment out of money provided by Parliament of grants to assist the provision of facilities for freight haulage by inland waterway.—[Mr. Mather.]
