HC Deb 12 February 1930 vol 235 cc418-9
74. Mr. HOFFMAN

asked the Minister of Transport if the Report with reference to the Severn barrage scheme for electrical development is yet ready; and, if so, when it will be available to Members?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave on the 21st January to a similar question by the hon. and gallant Member for Maidstone (Commander Bellairs), of which I am sending him a copy.

Colonel ASHLEY

Can we have some additional information, in view of the Supplementary Estimate which deals with the subject, and which the House, I under stand, will discuss next week?

Mr. MORRISON

If the House discusses the Supplementary Estimate next week, the House will then have additional information.

Colonel ASHLEY

But does it always follow that Ministers do give information?

Mr. MORRISON

My experience is that the present Ministers give the maximum of information.
