HC Deb 08 February 1960 vol 617 cc12-3W
16. Mr. Collard

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what progress has been made in the discussions which, as indicated in the White Paper of February, 1959, were to be held on the recommendations of the Bowes Committee in relation to the Broads.

Mr. H. Brooke

I am informed that negotiations have been taking place between the Great Yarmouth Port and Haven Commissioners and the East Suffolk and Norfolk River Board, but they have not yet reached agreement on the Bowes Committee recommendations. Representatives of the National Parks Commission are intending to visit the area later in the year, and I hope that, if by then progress is still held up, they will be able to help matters forward.
