Examination of Witnesses (Question 180)
JONATHAN SHAW
MP, MR ROBIN
MORTIMER AND
MS SARAH
NASON
19 MARCH 2008
Q180 Patrick Hall: Hatherton.
Jonathan Shaw: We will look into
them.
Chairman: I am looking to the Lancaster
Canal, northern extension. Minister, you will gather that we recognise
the advances that have been made both in terms of the improvement
in the condition of the network and some quite remarkable regeneration
projects which, to their credit, British Waterways have very successfully
carried out, and part of our inquiry perhaps represents a frustration,
for understandable reasons, that progress in certain areas cannot
be as colleagues would wish it, but can I thank you and your colleagues
for sharing your thoughts with us. Thank you for agreeing to write
to us with some further information and, in the near future, updating
us about how the inter-departmental committee is going to move
forward. Thank you very much indeed for your contribution and
thank you again to British Waterways for theirs; we will now deliberate
on how we will present the evidence and any conclusions we reach
to the wider public. Thank you very much.
