HC Deb 29 January 1951 vol 483 cc59-60W
51. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Lord President of the Council when the tidal model of the Severn Barrage Electricity Scheme will be completed.

Mr. H. Morrison

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply that the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury gave him on the 19th July, 1949. Work on the new research station began in September of last year, instead of early in the year as had been expected. Apart from this delay, it is hoped that no considerable departure from the original time-table will occur. In that event, the model should be completed in 1953 or early 1954.
