HC Deb 23 November 1954 vol 533 c107W
68. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether his attention has been called to the danger of repeated floods in Creetown and the necessity of controlling the upper burn; and whether he will examine the possibility of combining damming the water both for control and for the production of hydro-electric power.

Mr. J. Stuart

Yes. The problem of flood control is under examination. The possibility of combining flood control with electricity generation will be borne in mind.
