HC Deb 28 October 1971 vol 823 cc450-1W
Mr. Mulley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment in view of the recent damage to the Bridgewater Canal if he will make a special grant to ensure that this waterway is kept open; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

The Manchester Ship Canal Company, which is responsible for the Bridgewater Canal, is, I understand, discussing its repair with local authorities and other bodies in the region.
