HC Deb 20 February 1947 vol 433 c209W
99. Mr. Renton

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power the Government's proposals for harnessing power in tidal estuaries; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Shinwell

The only proposal of this character is the Severn Barrage Scheme which was dealt with in my reply to the hon. Member for Aylesbury (Sir S. Reed) on 18th November, 1946. Since I gave that reply arrangements have been made for the construction of a tidal model as soon as facilities are available.
