HC Deb 01 March 1976 vol 906 cc410-1W
Mr. Alan Lee Williams

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make a statement on any research into the transport use of waterways he has commissioned, following his statement in August 1974; and. if so, what progress has been made.

Mr. Denis Howell

The only research project currently in progress which impinges on the transport use of inland waterways is a study by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory into the transport of aggregates.
