The Oxford-Burcot Commission was the first Commission concerned with the management of the River Thames, appointed by an Act of Parliament of 1605 by James I to make the stretch of river from Burcot to Oxford navigable. The Commission took responsibility for the management of the River Thames between Oxford and Burcot. It consisted of 18 members, including a representative each from Oxford city and from the University. However its work was irregular and by 1611 it had ceased altogether.

has abstract	Die Oxford-Burcot Commission war die erste Kommission, die sich mit der Verwaltung der Themse befasste. Sie wurde durch ein Gesetz 1605 von Jakob I. eingesetzt um den Themseabschnitt zwischen Burcot und Oxford schiffbarer zu machen. Die Kommission hatte 18 Mitglieder, darunter einen Vertreter der Stadt Oxford und einen Vertreter der University of Oxford. Sie traf sich nur unregelmäßig und hatte ihre Arbeit 1611 ganz eingestellt. Ein zweites erweitertes Gesetz wurde 1623 verabschiedet. Es sah die Berufung von acht Personen als Kommissionsmitglieder zur Überwachung der Abwasserkanäle vor. Auch diese Gruppe wurde als Oxford-Burcot Commission bezeichnet. Die Kommission hatte das Recht Steuern von der Stadt Oxford und der Universität zu erheben, den Fluss zu säubern und Schleusen und Wehre zu bauen. Das Iffley Lock, Sandford Lock und eine Schleuse im Swift Ditch nahe dem heutigen Abingdon Lock wurden 1631 gebaut. Allerdings war der Arbeitsfortschritt langsam und die Bauten teuer. Der erste Kahn erreichte Oxford erst 1635. In der Folge wurde die Thames Navigation Commission 1751 durch ein weiteres Gesetz unter George II. eingesetzt. Diese Kommission hatte ähnliche Vollmachten wie ihre Vorgänger, war aber für die gesamte Themse bis nach Staines verantwortlich.

The Commission took responsibility for the management of the River Thames between Oxford and Burcot. It consisted of 18 members, including a representative each from Oxford city and from the University. However its work was irregular and by 1611 it had ceased altogether. A second strengthened Act of Parliament in 1623 allowed for the appointment of eight commissioners of sewers. This was also known as the Oxford-Burcot Commission. It had the power to tax Oxford city and the University, to clean the river and to install locks and weirs. Iffley Lock, Sandford Lock and a lock on the Swift Ditch near the present Abingdon Lock were built in 1631. However, its work was slow and costly and the first barge did not reach Oxford until 1635. Consequently Thames Navigation Commissioners were appointed in 1751 by a further Act of Parliament under King George II in 1751. This Commission had similar powers but covered the entire length of the River Thames down to Staines. (en)
