43. Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will meet the chairman of the British Waterways Board to discuss the possibility of increasing the use of canals in the Midlands.

The British Waterways Board is already working closely with the relevant local authorities in developing the recreational use of canals in the Midlands. I am in regular contact with the chairman of the British Waterways Board.
