HC Deb 01 November 1920 vol 134 c96W
Lieut.-Colonel CROFT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any action has yet been taken upon the preliminary Report, dated 15th August, 1919, by Mr. Stafford X. Comber, upon the possible development of hydro-electric power in British Guiana?

Lieut.-Colonel AMERY

The Report was referred for advice to the Conjoint Board of Scientific Studies, who endorsed Mr. Comber's recommendation that in the first instance the collection of further data was essential. The Governor has already been asked to report what progress has been made in this direction.
