§ 75. Mr. Hurdasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will arrange for the holding of an independent inquiry to take evidence and consider thoroughly how far the modernisation of the waterways could ease traffic congestion on the roads and supplement the railway system, in view of the cursory character of the findings of the Board of Survey recently appointed by the Commission; and if he will give a general direction to the British Transport Commission to afford all facilities to this inquiry.
§ Mr. Boyd-Carpenter:Not at present.
