HC Deb 08 April 1925 vol 182 c2268W
Mr. THURTLE

asked the Minister of Transport if his Department has under consideration any scheme for the development, improvement, and increased utilisation of the canal system of the country?

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE-BRABAZON

I do not at present contemplate the introduction of any general legislation with regard to canals. The Government has, however, given assistance, and is still prepared to give assistance, through the Unemployment Grants Committee to practicable schemes for the improvement of canals.
