§ 29. Colonel Clarkeasked the Minister of Fuel and Power which electricity associations have indicated to him a desire 438 to assist in the change-over to nationalisation.
§ Mr. ShinwellThe Incorporated Municipal Electrical Association, the Conference of Joint Electricity Authorities and Joint Boards, the Electrical Trades Union and the Electrical Power Engineers Association have indicated their willingness to cooperate in the carrying out of the Government's policy of nationalisation.
§ Mr. PalmerIs it not a fact that the electricity companies alone have refused cooperation in carrying out the decision of the nation to bring electricity under complete public ownership?
§ Mr. ShinwellIt is not quite clear that they refuse to cooperate; they have said something about it, but it has to be analysed.
