HC Deb 25 March 1925 vol 182 cc429-30
55. Sir WILFRID SUGDEN

asked the Minister of Transport if he will consider the advisability of inviting representatives from the other groups of opinion upon the subject of electric power supply in Great Britain to consult with him, as well as those representatives who at the present time are advising him upon this subject from certain view points of the problem?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon)

I have nothing to add to the reply which was given to the hon. Member for Newport on the 24th February, a copy of which I am sending to my hon. Friend.

Sir W. SUGDEN

Does the hon. and gallant Member realise that there are five schools of thought in this country with regard to power production, and that if he is taking his guidance from one of these only he will be acting on only partial information?

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE-BRABAZON

The Minister has received advice from all quarters. What advice he will take it is not for me to say.

Sir W. SUGDEN

Is it not the fact that he is taking such advice from one school of thought only?

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE-BRABAZON

I am not aware of it.
