§ 15. Mr. R. YOUNGasked the Minister of Transport whether it is proposed to re-introduce the Electricity Supply (No. 2) Bill as promised when the Bill was withdrawn last Session?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Sir Eric Geddes)It will be convenient if I answer this question and No. 15 at the same time. It is intended to re-introduce the Electricity (Supply) Bill to-morrow.
§ Captain BOWYERWill that be in the same form as the Bill of last Session?
§ Sir E. GEDDESNo, it will be modified.
§ Sir J. REMNANTMay I ask whether it is still the intention of the Government to saddle the rates with £30,000,000 for the new scheme as well as the £20,000,000 previously estimated?
§ Sir E. GEDDESNo, Sir, it is not intended to saddle the rates with £30,000,000, but perhaps my right hon. Friend will wait until the Bill is introduced.
§ Captain BOWYERWhen shall we have a chance of seeing it?
§ Sir E. GEDDESThe Bill will be introduced to-morrow.
