HC Deb 18 October 1944 vol 403 cc2398-9W
Mr. Chorlton

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he is aware that lengths of canal are still little used; and if he is satisfied that one power barge per week makes sufficient use of this cheap way of transport.

Mr. Noel-Baker

If my hon. Friend will let me have particulars about the lengths of canal which he has in mind, I will inquire whether the traffic could be usefully increased.
