HC Deb 09 November 1936 vol 317 c500
45. Mr. EDE

asked the Prime Minister whether it is proposed to find time during the current Session for legislation dealing with the distribution of electricity?

The PRIME MINISTER

The hon. Member will have noticed that a full programme of legislation is already promised for this Session, and I cannot undertake at present that it will be possible to add to it. But the Government are alive to the importance of the recommendations made by the committee for the reorganisation of the supply of electricity and have the matter closely before them.
