Sir HOWELL DAVIES
asked if the President of the Board of Trade contemplates, at an early date, proposing any legislation to give effect to the Report of the recent Commission on English Canals?
Mr. ROBERTSON
I am afraid I can make no promise of legislation on this subject at present.
Sir H. DAVIES
May I ask the hon. Gentleman whether the Board of Trade have any views on this question?
Mr. ROBERTSON
The views of the Board of Trade are rather negative.
