HC Deb 12 December 1949 vol 470 c2346
34. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power when the report and accounts of the British Electricity Authority will be published.

Mr. Gaitskell

I have now received the report and accounts and expect that they will be published about the middle of January.

Mr. Erroll

Is there any reason for such a prolonged delay now that the Bradford by-election is over?

Mr. Gaitskell

There were considerable difficulties during the first year, both on the accounts side and as regards the report, which I do not think will recur in future.
