Abstract
THE report of the Cooper Committee on “Hydroelectric Development in Scotland” (see p. 187), the main recommendations of which have now been accepted by the Government and embodied in the Hydro-Electric Development (Scotland) Bill presented to Parliament, is a reconstruction paper which will require the early attention of whatever planning authority may be entrusted with the responsibilities recommended by the Barlow Commission or the Scott Committee. The report formulates a programme or policy without attempting to work out its practical implications to the last detail, but in doing so it promotes an admirable appreciation of the position of hydro-electric development in Scotland and supplement to the report on the Highlands and islands of Scotland issued by the Scottish Economic Committee in 1938.
