HC Deb 02 July 1980 vol 987 cc599-600W
65. Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment why no member of the Waterways Board has been appointed to the Inland Waterways Amenities Advisory Council under section 110 1(b) of the Transport Act 1968.

Mr. Fox

My right hon. Friend has announced that the Inland Waterways Amenities Advisory Council will be abolished at the earliest legislative opportunity. In these circumstances there is nothing to be gained by appointing to

authorities I cannot make a reliable estimate.
