Severn Barrage: Two project founders were declared bankrupt in past
Serious questions about two of the founders of a project to build a barrage across the Severn estuary have been raised by a BBC investigation.
The largest shareholder in Hafren Power has previously been declared bankrupt three times during a lengthy business career.
Another businessman has been declared bankrupt twice but said it should not detract from the project's legitimacy. Backers claim the £25bn barrage could generate 5% of Britain's electricity.
BBC Wales parliamentary correspondent David Cornock reports.
