§ 34. Mr. STUART BEVANasked the Minister of Transport whether he will take steps to secure that where the Electricity Commissioners obtain wayleaves over a farm for the high-tension grid provision shall be made whereby the farmer may be provided with suitable power at a reasonable cost?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONAs my hon. Friend is aware, the high-tension lines of the Central Electricity Board, to which he presumably refers, are necessary for the purpose of interconnecting the principal generating stations and for technical reasons they are not available for connections to individual consumers. 1965 These lines, however, form part of the system which will afford supplies to the local undertakings which are responsible for the low tension distribution to consumers, and will facilitate the provision of supplies wherever a remunerative demand exists.
