Thanks for this. Interesting debate, and I thought the Minister was a bit more supportive than he strictly needed to be in the circumstances. Steve, having watched the debate, it seems that the text you uploaded is incomplete as the Minister's response is not there. Do you have a source for the rest of it?
Incidentally I was surprised to hear the reference to Tristam's constituency (Stoke Central) having the most miles of canal of any in the country. Surely that can't be right? By my maths it's less than 10 miles in total. Steve NB Bream
