Middle Level Bill

Proceeding contribution from Wendy Morton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 March 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on Middle Level Bill.

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman. When I am out on the waterways, I certainly notice stretches with a lot of litter and debris. Every user of our canals, whether on the water or walking, has a duty to play their part in collecting litter, and we need provision for places where it can be placed.

What is particularly interesting about the Bill is that the commissioners currently have no navigation income. Any navigation works must be subsidised by those who pay a drainage levy. It is the largest navigation authority in the country without a navigation income.
