§ Mr. Sutcliffeasked the Minister of Transport whether he will give special attention during his inquiry into the greater use to be made of canals, to those passing through industrial areas, such as the Rochdale Canal from Manchester to Yorkshire, which carries little or no traffic over the greater part of it, although it has been continuously maintained and kept open?
§ Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon:I have brought this suggestion to the notice of Mr. Frank Pick, who, as recently announced, has been appointed to investigate and report on the carriage of traffic on canals.
