HC Deb 23 July 1929 vol 230 cc1114-5W
Mr. MORT

asked the Minister of Transport if he is prepared to consider a scheme, now being discussed by the local authority concerned, of a better means of transportation across the Manchester Ship Canal at Barton, Eccles, with the view of including it in his schemes for dealing with the relief of unemployment?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I am prepared to consider any well considered scheme put forward by the local authority or the local authorities concerned; but until some concrete proposals are before me I cannot commit myself to any opinion in the matter.
