Water Freight

EDM number 143 in 2006-07, proposed by Mike Hancock on 20/11/2006.

That this House notes that moving freight by water is several times more environmentally sustainable than doing so by road and takes lorries off the congested road network; further notes that water freight makes a major contribution to the UK's economy and employs more than 200,000 people; welcomes the role played by Sea and Water in promoting water freight; calls on major retailers and others to do more to make their supply chains more green by making use of inland waterways and short sea shipping; and urges the Government to continue to support the water freight industry with policies to develop and maintain the inland waterway network, and by ensuring that planning policies in particular encourage rather than hinder access to the waterways.

This motion has been signed by a total of 83 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
