Jonathan R Shaw Jonathan R Shaw (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Marine, Landscape and Rural Affairs) and Minister for the South East), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) | Hansard source I receive correspondence from a wide range of stakeholders regarding funding for the inland waterways. DEFRA sponsors the three largest navigation authoritiesBritish Waterways, the Environment Agency and the Broads Authority. The formal comprehensive spending review settlement for 2008-09 to 2010-11 for Departments has been announced. This will now be followed by DEFRA's own financial allocation process which is based on careful prioritisation across the Department and all its sponsored bodies. We are actively engaging delivery partners in this, but most final allocations, including those for the Environment Agency and British Waterways, will not be known until the new year after further discussions within DEFRA. from: http://www.theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=2007-12-05a.170521.h
