HC Deb 09 December 1935 vol 307 c565
73. Captain CAZALET

asked the Minister of Transport whether the committee appointed to inquire into the distribution of electricity has completed its report?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

No, Sir.

Captain CAZALET

Can my right hon. Friend try to expedite the report in view of the fact that there are many rural areas in this country still without electricity and are likely to be without for many years to come?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

As my hon. and gallant Friend knows, the committee has not been appointed for many months and the field of inquiry is naturally a large one. I am sure that the committee will report with the utmost expedition.
