HC Deb 22 June 1967 vol 748 c323W
63. Mr. Orbach

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will introduce legislation to make it possible for greater co-operation between those using rivers for sport and recreation, such as canoeists, and the local riparian authorities.

Mr. Denis Howell

Those responsible for regional planning are doing their utmost to make the best provision possible for those concerned with the use of rivers. Rather than introduce legislation I hope that, as urged in the Water Sports Code, the aim can be achieved by friendly cooperation.
