HC Deb 09 December 1948 vol 459 c534
7. Mr. Edgar Granville

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if it is the intention of his Department to sanction the use of electric current for illuminated Christmas trees in communal public centres during the Christmas period.

Mr. Gaitskell

As I have already announced, there is no objection to this.

Mr. Granville

Does that answer mean that it is permissible for villages, churches and schools to use current for external illumination during the Christmas period?

Mr. Gaitskell

On Christmas trees, yes.
