§ 84. Mr. Harold Daviesasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that, when youth organisations voluntarily work on clearing canals, waterways, and repairing locks, no insurance company is prepared to insure them against accident; and whether he will introduce legislation to empower him to work out a scheme to cover this contingency.
§ Mr. MarplesI am aware of a difficulty of this nature that has arisen in one case. The British Waterways Board tells me that it will be discussing this with the voluntary organisation concerned in the very near future.
