Middle Level Bill: Report Stage Amdt 14

Private Bill

What this vote was about

The Middle Level Bill was a private Bill updating the powers of the body that manages the Middle Level navigations, a network of inland waterways in the Fens, including powers to register boats and charge fees. MPs voted on Amendment 14, moved by Conservative Sir Christopher Chope, which would have exempted disabled boat users from these registration requirements and charges. It was rejected by 177 votes to 5, so no such exemption was added to the Bill.
