§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he has made of the impact on the proposed Cardiff bay barrage of the Severn estuary barrage; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerThe Cardiff bay barrage will be designed to withstand the present full tidal range. A barrage across the Severn estuary would serve to reduce the tidal range and therefore result in a lower loading on the Cardiff bay barrage.
