HC Deb 28 March 1973 vol 853 c313W
41. Dr. Stuttaford

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the future plans of his Department will increase the navigable water in the Norfolk Broads.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

I am planning to visit the Broads shortly to discuss with all the present interested authorities questions of the future administration of the water resources of this area. The Government are concerned to ensure that the best possible use of the Broads should be secured for recreational and amenity purposes, and I know that the authorities in the area fully share this view.
