HC Deb 05 April 1978 vol 947 c138W
35. Mr. Neubert

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what proposals he has received concerning the increased carriage of freight by water.

Mr. William Rodgers

My Department has received a number of representations recommending the increased carriage of freight by water. I lately had the opportunity of discussing the prospects of the Thames in the course of a trip on the river kindly arranged by Transport on Water.
