HC Deb 19 November 1925 vol 188 c552
15. Mr. ALBERY

asked the Home Secretary whether there is any independent periodic inspection of water reservoirs or electric power dams: and, if so, by whom?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

Accidents due to the bursting of such reservoirs or dams have fortunately been very rare, and so far, at any rate, as general legislation is concerned, no provision has been made for any independent periodic inspection of such works.
