§ 36. Mr. PRICEasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the Parton Parish Council in Cumberland applied two years ago to the Silkstone Company for the supply of electricity to their area; that, although the principle was approved, no further action was taken; whether he has been informed as to the cause of the delay; and whether he will take steps to assist the extension of electric supply to their area?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONThis matter has not been brought to the notice of myself or the Electricity Commissioners, but I have asked the Commissioners to inquire into the position.
