HC Deb 25 November 1931 vol 260 cc396-7
30. Dr. WORTHINGTON

asked the Minister of Transport if, when considering the report of the Committee on the Severn River Barrage, he will, before giving his assent to that scheme, cause an inquiry to be made by the Electricity Commissioners into the desirability of making the fullest possible use of the adjacent source of power in the coal measures of the Forest of Dean in order to reduce the unemployment in that area?

Mr. PYBUS

I have noted my hon. Friend's request for consideration in due course.
