§ 19. Mr. Gallacherasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will give an undertaking that the Scottish Hydro-Electric Project will not be affected in 1948 by any revision arising from the White Paper on Capital Investment in 1948.
§ Mr. WoodburnI regret I cannot add to the statement of the Government's intentions as set out in the White Paper and in the Debate thereon on 18th December.
§ Mr. GallacherIn view of the great hopes of this undertaking which were encouraged by the former Secretary of State, will the present Secretary of State see that nothing is allowed to happen which will in any way hold up the work that is going on in connection with the hydro-electric project?
§ Mr. WoodburnThe work is going on steadily and the difficulties in completing the work on this scheme are more likely to be physical than administrative.
