SCHEMES TO GIVE WORK
MID-SCOTLAND CANAL AND SEVERN BRIDGE MR. THOMAS INQUIRING British Official Wireless Reed. 11 a.m. RUGBY, Tuesday. The Lord Privy Seal, Mr. J. H. Thomas, replying in the House of Commons to a question on the possibility of building a road bridge over the Severn to serve South Wales, said it could not be dissociated from the other question of the Severn barrage, which was now being studied. It was also stated that he regarded a proposal for the construction of a mid-Scotland canal capable of carrying the heaviest shipping as one for inquiry, and he was looking into it. The estimated total value of the schemes now before the Unemployment Grants Committee is about £5,500,000.
