HC Deb 13 December 1949 vol 470 c247W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether he is aware that the proposal to carry out hydro-electric engineering works on a large scale in the National Park now being brought into being in the Snowden area, has caused widespread dissatisfaction; o and if he will review the position.

Mr. Silkin

I am aware of the protests which have been received against these proposals. As I explained in reply to a previous Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Caernarvonshire (Mr. Goronwy Roberts) on 28th June, the promoter's intention is to submit the proposals to Parliament in a Private Bill. I am keeping in touch on the matter with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Fuel and Power.
