HC Deb 11 May 1926 vol 195 cc801-2
Mr. GATES

(by Private Notice) asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that manufacturers and business houses in Stepney are still without electric power during the daytime, and whether he will make arrangements that will enable such manufacturers and business houses to continue their business and avoid throwing their employés out of work?

Captain Viscount CURZON (Lord of the Treasury)

I have been asked to reply. My right hon. Friend's attention has been called to this case, and he is making inquiries.

Mr. HARRISON

Is it not a fact that the action taken by the Stepney Council means that the electric energy in two hospitals has been put out of action?
