Bridges and Equipment

HC Deb 13 July 1955 vol 543 cc183-4W

88. Air Commodore Harvey

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will give a general direction to the British Transport Commission not to dismantle equipment and bridges used in connection with the canal system until a decision has been reached on canal policy.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

No. The Commission must, like any other business, be allowed to use its own equipment as it thinks fit.
