HL Deb 11 August 1972 vol 334 cc1582-3WA
LORD FRASER OF LONSDALE

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they can make a statement on the Morecambe Bay Barrage Scheme.

LORD SANDFORD

The Water Resources Board's report on the feasibility of estuary storage in Morecame Bay was published in February. However, a decision cannot be taken until the water storage aspects can be evaluated in the light of the Water Resources Board's report on national water strategies which is expected early next year.
