65. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether, in view of the widespread system of charging meter rents by gas and electricity undertakings, he will investigate the system adopted by similar American undertakings as regards the supply to the consumer and make a statement to the House.
Major Lloyd GeorgeI have no detailed information about the practice of American gas and electricity undertakings in regard to meter rents, but I am having inquiries made.
Mr. De la BèreWill the right hon. and gallant Gentleman bear in mind that we are very anxious to have something done about these matters here?
