88. Mr. Garner Evansasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether, before authorising the South-East Cheshire Water Board to use the Shropshire Union Canal, Welsh section, as a water duct, he will secure an assurance from the British Transport Commission that it is prepared to preserve the amenities of the upper reaches of that canal between Kron Cysyllte and Llantysilio.
§ Mr. SandysI have no reason to think that the use of this canal as a duct would be likely to interfere with the amenities of the upper reaches; but if the hon. Member thinks that it will, and will let me know his reasons, I will consider the matter further.
