I do not think obstruction can take place in the British Transport Commission's set-up. My hon. Friend knows that a special Executive is charged with the problem of fully utilising the ports, canals and inland waterways of this country, and therefore it is they who have jurisdiction over the canals. I have no reason to think that they will not be anxious to develop them to their fullest capacity.
