HC Deb 01 April 1930 vol 237 cc1084-5W
Mr. WEST RUSSELL

asked the President of the Board of Trade the number of towns which have agreed to the running of motor speed-boats; the number of those which have refused; and the number of those which, while objecting, have no power to withhold permission?

Mr. W. GRAHAM

I regret that I am not in a position to supply the information required by the hon. Member.

Parliament has left the question of the regulation of speed-boats plying for hire largely to local authorities, who are not under a statutory obligation to furnish information of this nature.
