HC Deb 11 August 1966 vol 733 cc378-9W
Mr. Hazell

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that already five persons have died whilst boating in the Norfolk Broads this year; and if he will increase Government assistance to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents so that it may continue and expand its Learn to Swim and its Lifejackets campaigns.

Mr. Jay

I regret the accidents which take place on the Norfolk Broads and elsewhere, but I am not satisfied that financial assistance by the Board of Trade to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents would be appropriate.
