§ Mr. F. M. Bennettasked the Minister of Power whether he will reconsider, on amenity grounds, the making of an underwater crossing of the Menai Straits by the planned 400 kv. line from Wylfa in Anglesey to Connah's Quay instead of an overhead line.
§ Mr. WoodNo. I considered this very carefully but, for the reasons given in the inspectors' report, I decided that I should not be justified in asking the Generating Board to face the extra cost and the technical risk to supplies of putting a cable under the water.
