Synopsis: |
"British Waterways (HC 345-I)" presents the findings of an inquiry into British Waterways, covering topics such as: the improvements to the network over the past decade; the impact of recent grant reductions; funding levels in the Comprehensive Spending Review 2007; changes to the financial and regulatory framework; commercial activities; growth in the waterways network for leisure; potential growth of freight; the relationship with users; partnership working; and the relationship with Government.The inquiry showed that the relationship between British Waterways and its sponsor department have been tense in recent months, with a former minister criticising them publicly. The Committee hopes that it is time for a fresh start and fully supports the case for a longer-term funding contract. The Committee also believes that there is a strong case for other Government departments to make direct contributions to the funding and that Government should rule out any plans for privatisation.The accompanying, "British Waterways - Volume II: Oral and Written Evidence (HC 345-II)" (ISBN 0215035623) is available to buy separately. |
