9. Mr. J. Idwal Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what progress has been made with the feasibility study on the Dee Barrage; and if he will make a statement.

The second phase of the engineering study of a Dee crossing is in hand and the consulting engineers hope to submit a report early in 1971. Planning consultants are making a study of the planning implications of a crossing. Their report should be available early next year.
