Scope and Content

This series relates to WBD's work as a consultant for various local authorities and private companies concerning geological issues, often relating to mineral exploitation or development of water supply. They include Dawkins' evidence as an expert witness to various parliamentary committees scrutinising private bill legislation. The following folders vary in size, but most contain a substantial mixture of WBD's notes and correspondence; proofs of WBD's evidence; maps, diagrams and sections; printed local and parliamentary papers; and reprints and cuttings.
