§ 52. Mr. WESTasked the Minister of Transport the revenue per unit of electricity sold for lighting and domestic purposes by the Notting Hill Company, the South London Company, the South Metropolitan Company, Woolwich, St. Marylebone, and Wimbledon Borough Councils?
§ Mr. PARKINSONThe average revenue per unit received during 1929–30 for lighting and domestic supplies, including lighting of business premises, was over 4d., in the case of the first three undertakings referred to, and under 2d. in the case of the last two.
§ Mr. WESTCan my hon. Friend explain why the charge of private companies should be practically double that of public authorities?
§ Mr. PARKINSONThe hon. Member had better put down a further question on that matter.
