HC Deb 04 May 1948 vol 450 c1081
35. Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Secretary of State for War why the British Military Administration at Mogadishu have recently decided to authorise charges for electricity to be made to British non-military personnel at the rate of one shilling per unit.

Mr. Shinwell

Changes in the electricity tariff in Mogadishu are not necessarily reported at once to the War Office. I am, however, obtaining the information asked for by the hon. Member, and will send it to him.

Mr. Hugh Fraser

Have the electricity services in Mogadishu been nationalised?

Mr. Shinwell

I do not know, but if they have not, they ought to be.
