Proceeding contribution from Ian Gibson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Broads Authority Bill (By Order).
Broads Authority Bill (By Order)
We do not know the final details at this stage, of course, so I can only propose what might happen. I believe that there will be a navigation officer and it may be possible to have an account associated with that individual, who could ensure that the money coming in from the tolls was used for navigation. What about money that is used for the environment? I know that some people believe that the dredging could be carried out in a completely different way for environmental purposes, which would save a lot of money. The apportioning of money for one cause or the other relating to all the different functions of the broads needs to be very seriously looked into—nationally, as well. The broads will benefit from that.
