§ 47 Mr. Edeasked the Prime Minister whether it is proposed to give the Bill concerned with the supply side of the electrical industry a First Reading before the Recess, so that its terms may be known to the industry at the earliest date now possible?
§ The Prime MinisterNo, Sir. Ample time will, however, be given to the industry to consider the terms of the Bill before it is debated in this House.
§ Mr. EdeDoes the right hon. Gentleman hope to secure that this legislation will be passed into law during the current Session, in view of the delay in introducing it and the magnitude and variety of the interests involved?
