Proceeding contribution from Lynda Waltho (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 November 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on British Waterways.


British Waterways

Absolutely. I am immensely proud of what the Government have done for investment in waterways. Indeed, the volunteers and the people who keep things going in my constituency and on the canals in the black country are aware of what the Government have done. The cut would represent a sell-off of not only the asset but of those volunteers' input and confidence. Furthermore, it represents effectively selling off a national treasure. That is what really hurts people.
