§ 35. Mr. GROVESasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the fact that in the London area alone there arc 80 separate agencies for the distribution of electricity, he proposes to take steps to implement the work of the Central Electricity Board in the generation of electricity by establishing a similar unity of control by amalgamation or otherwise for the distribution of electricity, so as to enable the benefit of the board's grid-power system to be passed on to the domestic consumer?
Mr. STANLEYThe possibility of improving the organisation of the distribution of electricity is naturally a subject which is engaging my attention.
