HC Deb 11 November 1969 vol 791 c57W
Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will seek powers to place a legal duty upon the Port of London Authority to keep the Thames clear from driftwood.

Mr. Murray

No. My right hon. Friend has no evidence that the Port of London Authority are not taking all reasonable steps to keep the Thames clear of driftwood. I am replying to my hon. Friend's letter on this subject today.
