		This announcement follows representations made to Michael Fabricant by the Lichfield-Hatherton Canal Restoration Trust that if construction to the aqueduct is delayed until after the opening of the BNRR, the cost of its construction could increase so much, it could delay the project for decades.
		Michael Fabricant says "While the Trust may not be able to complete the aqueduct before the BNRR is opened, this announcement means that much of the work can be completed in the immediate future.
		This breakthrough is a welcome U-turn by the Department of Transport which, when under John Prescott, showed no interest in assisting the development of the Canal and resolving the problem of the BNRR bisecting the Canal's route.
