§ 9. Mr. Tilneyasked the Minister of Technology whether he will devise a joint experiment by a computer and a model of the Irish Sea coast taking in the Solway Estuary, Morecambe Bay and the Dee Estuary whereby the feasibility of reclamation of the three estuaries and the building of a bridge across the Mersey without endangering the port of Liverpool and other ports on this coast can be reasonably assured.
§ Mr. ShoreNo. These three areas—Solway Estuary, Morecambe Bay and Dee Estuary—in which other Ministeries30W are also interested, are being considered separately. A further crossing of the Mersey will be considered in the light of the current transportation survey of the whole Merseyside conurbation. If any of these investigations show the need, further work will be undertaken.
