HC Deb 28 April 1967 vol 745 c366W
Mr. John Wells

asked the Minister of Transport, what steps she is proposing to take to implement the proposals in paragraph 108 of Regent's Canal—a policy for its future, by the Regent's Canal Group, a copy of which has been sent to her.

Mr. John Morris

We were interested to see this report which, I am sure, will be of value both to the British Waterways Board and to the Greater London Council. Paragraph 108 of the Report brings two proposals specifically to the attention of the Government. The first is that there should be a guaranteed future for the canal. On this, I would refer the hon. Member to the Answers given to him on 19th April.

The second proposal, which seeks to secure an amendment to town and country planning legislation is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Minister of Housing and Local Government.—[Vol. 745, c. 579.]
