asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is aware that some high tension cables, the property of the Midlands Electricity Board, erected over the River Avon, are not of sufficient height to prevent the possibility of ship's masts hitting them with the consequent danger of fatal accidents; and if he will take steps to see that the interests of the public are protected from this danger.

I have not at present sufficient information about the circumstances to enable me to give a reply, but I am making inquiries and will write to the hon. and gallant Member.
