HC Deb 13 July 1966 vol 731 cc214-5W
80. Mr. Alldritt

asked the Minister of Transport what action the Liverpool City Council has taken, arising out of the recommendations of the working party appointed on the initiative of her Department, to introduce patrols on its section of the Liverpool and Leeds Canal.

Mr. John Morris

This is a matter for the local authority. My right hon. Friend understands that the council, after carefully considering all the factors, has decided not to introduce patrols but to take other measures first, including an intensive publicity campaign, aimed at preventing accidents to children.
