HC Deb 08 February 1960 vol 617 c11W
Mr. Jennings

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if the Trent River Board has yet made any recommendation as to what action should be taken in connection with the Drakelow Weir at Burton-on-Trent.

Mr. John Hare

No recommendations have yet been received. I understand that the river board awaits the results of tests now being carried out on the model of the River Trent constructed at the Government's Hydraulic Research Station. These tests are being made in order to observe the effect that certain proposals for the improvement of the river might have upon the operation of the existing electricity generating station and on the siting of future corporation sewage works.
