§ 92. Mr. SHAWasked the Minister of Munitions whether he is aware that a private house in the neighbourhood of Crosshouse, Ayrshire, has recently been fitted with an electric installation; whether the Crosshouse Co-operative Association has applied for an electric installation for the purpose of their bakery; whether the supply of electric current is readily available; why a licence for the necessary material has been refused; and whether, in view of all the circumstances, the matter will be reconsidered at an early date?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY OF MUNITIONS (Mr. Kellaway)Permission for an electric installation at the Crosshouse Co-operative Bakery was refused on the ground that the association already possessed a sufficient source of light and power, the necessary calcium carbide and petrol for which had been released to them by the Ministry and the Board of Trade. I have no information to the effect set out in the first part of the question, but if my hon. Friend will give me particulars of the case he has in mind I will at once make inquiries.
