HC Deb 21 June 1950 vol 476 cc1290-1
49. Mr. Erroll

asked the Lord President of the Council in view of the number of schemes of national importance which await investigation on hydraulic models, what prospects there are that the problems surrounding these schemes will be solvable by scientific study at the Hydraulics Research Organisation's laboratory due to be opened in the spring of 1951.

Mr. H. Morrison

There is no doubt that the scientific study by this Organisation of the problems presented by engineering schemes will yield information which will enable such schemes to be planned with greater efficiency and economy. These studies will, when appropriate, include the use of hydraulic models.
