HC Deb 05 November 1929 vol 231 c870W
Mr. MANDER

asked the Minister of Transport whether it is the intention of the Government to set up a central waterway board for Great Britain, as recommended by the Royal Commission in 1909?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I have no present intention of proposing the establishment of such a body, which would involve legislation. I should, of course, give careful consideration to any recommendations on the subject which the Royal Commission on Transport may make.
