HC Deb 16 July 1946 vol 425 c1039
31. Sir Stanley Reed

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether a decision has yet been reached on the recommendation of the expert committee's report on the Severn Barrage Scheme to construct a new tidal model, and to give the dock authorities the opportunity of being represented on a committee of hydraulic experts who would supervise the construction and operation of the new model.

Mr. Shinwell

No decision has yet been reached upon the Severn Barrage Report.

Sir S. Reed

Will the Minister look into this matter again to see that all the time and money devoted to this inquiry is not short-circuited by the small cost of the model which is recommended in order to complete this project?

Mr. Shinwell

As soon as I get an opportunity, I will see what can be done.
