HC Deb 29 July 1936 vol 315 c1518
32. Colonel ROPNER

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the Central Electricity Board is encouraging local authorities to engage in the commercial business of sea transport; and whether he will make appropriate representations to the Board regarding the un-desirability of this practice?

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Hore-Belisha)

So far as the Electricity Commissioners are concerned no new principle appears to be involved.
