HC Deb 10 February 1944 vol 396 c1920W
Mr. Jackson

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if the committee now investigating the possibility of a Severn barrage have yet come to any decision on the site to be used; and, if not, will they consider the importance of the fishing rights and the danger of flooding valuable farming land if the River Wye is included in the area of such a scheme.

Major Lloyd George

The Committee of Experts have not yet reported. I have arranged that the points raised by my hon. Friend in the second part of the Question should be brought to their notice.
