Morecambe Bay Barrage

HC Deb 17 May 1966 vol 728 cc237-8W

Mr. Hall-Davis

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources when the preliminary study of the Morecambe Bay Barrage will be completed.

Mr. Willey

The Water Resources Board hope to receive early in July the consulting engineers' report on the "desk study" of the project. The report will indicate the quantity of water which could be made available, the problems associated with making the water potable, and the probable cost.
