§ 22. Mr. BATEYasked the Minister of Transport the prices per unit charged to domestic consumers by the privately owned Newcastle-on-Tyne Electric Supply Company and the municipally owned Darlington Corporation?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Hore-Belisha)Owing to the different tariffs in operation in different parts of the respective areas of the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Company and the Corporation of Darlington, it is difficult to furnish comparable figures of the prices per unit charged to domestic consumers, especially as these two supply authorities frame their tariffs on different bases. I will, however, send the hon. Member a statement which will, I hope, give him the information he requires.
