HC Deb 10 February 1969 vol 777 c245W
Mr. Derek Page

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will arrange for the Social Science Research Council to sponsor a study of the social aspects involved in the construction of a Wash Barrage and associated works.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The Council is always prepared to advise the Government on matters within its competence, but the question whether or not to support a particular project with its own funds is for the Council itself to decide.
