HC Deb 30 November 1943 vol 395 c201
61. Mr. Kirby

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he can now announce the names of the persons forming the technical body which he is appointing to consider the Severn Barrage Scheme proposals, including the conclusions of the Brabazon Committee; and the terms of reference?

The Minister of Fuel and Power (Major Lloyd George)

I have invited three eminent engineers, whose names I hope to be able to announce shortly, to form a technical body with the following terms of reference: To review the conclusions of the Severn Barrage Committee in the light of later engineering experience and practice and of other developments and to suggest what modifications, if any, should be made in the proposed scheme, in the programme for its execution and in the estimates of its cost.

Mr. Kirby

When is this body likely to start work?

Major Lloyd George

I am hoping to get acceptances in a day or two, and they will start work immediately.
