HC Deb 26 January 1972 vol 829 c444W
98. Mr. Madel

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, in his new proposals, what the duties of the regional water authorities will be in the maintenance of commercial waterways.

Mr. Peter Walker

They would be similar to those now imposed on the British Waterways Board by Sections 104 and 105 of the Transport Act, 1968.
