§ 65. Mr. Fieldasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the many accidents to children that have taken place recently along that stretch of the 62W Regent's Canal, between Warwick Avenue and Maida Vale, he will cause an inquiry to be made to ensure that the canal banks are sufficiently guarded.
Mr. BraithwaiteI am glad to say that the British Transport Commission, in whom this canal is vested, inform me that no further deaths from drowning have been reported to them since July, 1951. They also state that arrangements are in hand for the construction of a new fence between Warwick Avenue and Maida Vale.
