93. Mr. Ellis Smith

asked the Paymaster-General if his attention has been drawn to the reference on page 75 of Volume 1 of the Proceedings of the International Conference on Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, to the Severn Estuary as a favourable site for a tidal power plant; and what action he proposes to take to establish such a plant.

Mr. Maudling

Yes. But as regards the proposal for a Severn Barrage, I have nothing to add to the Answer given to the hon. Member on 30th July, 1956.

94. Mr. Peart

asked the Paymaster-General when he proposes to announce his revised programme for atomic energy development.

Mr. Maudling

My noble Friend hopes to be in a position to make an announcement within a few weeks.
