HC Deb 06 December 1961 vol 650 c170W
Mr. Wainwright

asked the Minister of Transport if, in view of the possibility of the United Kingdom entering the Common Market, he will set up a committee to examine the possibilities of erecting a dam across the Channel which would serve both as a means of transport and as a source of electrical power.

Mr. Marples

No. I have seen no evidence which would justify setting up such a committee.
