HC Deb 21 March 1978 vol 946 cc489-90W
Mr. Norman Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he accepts the finding of the Fraenkel Report in regard to the British Waterways Board; and if he will make a statement;

(2) if he will continue to make grants to the British Waterways Board in respect of all maintenance work as set out in the Fraenkel Report which the Board is unable to fund from its own resources.

Mr. Denis Howell
