HC Deb 18 March 1976 vol 907 c591W
Mr. Roderick

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will bring forward proposals for changing the status of the British Waterways Board.

Mr. Denis Howell

The consultation document on the review of the water industry, published today, puts forward for discussion the proposal that the British Waterways Board should be merged with the new National Water Authority, which would then become the basis of a national inland navigation authority.
