§ SIR CHARLES McLAREN (Leicestershire, Bosworth)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether it is proposed this session to reintroduce into either House the Supply of Electricity Bill which was printed in 1903, and passed through the House of Lords, with Amendments in Committee, in 1904, and which is supported by the general body of electrical engineers, or whether the Government propose to recommend any other legislative changes to facilitate private enterprise in electric undertakings.
§ MR. LLOYD-GEORGEI hope to introduce a Bill dealing with this important question shortly, but before doing so I should prefer to have before me the Report of the Committee of this House which is now considering the question of electric supply in London.
