HC Deb 15 July 1982 vol 27 cc435-6W
Mr. Colvin

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will give details of any further investigations being carried out by his Department on tidal power; and when he expects to produce reports.

The figures for England and Wales and Scotland include a number, believed small, of injuries resulting from industrial diseases contracted on farms.

Information on non-fatal injuries for 1981 are not yet available.

Mr. Mellor

The Government will make a statement when they have reached a decision on the future of the Severn Barrage studies. No commissioned investigations are in hand at present.
