HC Deb 16 February 1932 vol 261 c1478W
Mr. MANDER

asked the Minister of Transport what steps he is taking to encourage canal development in this country?

Mr. PYBUS

I do not at present contemplate the introduction of general legislation with regard to canals. As my hon. Friend is aware, grants have been made towards the improvement of particular canal undertakings under the Development Act, 1929, which is still in force.
