§ 19. Mr. Nabarroasked the Secretary of State for Scotland the respective values of the fixed assets of each of the South-West, the South-East, and North of Scotland Hydro-Electricity Boards, expressed as an aggregate of all generation transmission andother ancillary electricity fixed assets, at the latest convenient date; and what would have been the value of the fixed assets of a single Scottish authority for electricity generation, transmission and sales, upon the date concerned.
§ Mr. Henderson StewartAs this is a long answer, I will, with permission, circulate it in the Official Report.
§ Following is the information:
§ The net value of the fixed assets of the South-East Scotland and South-West Scotland Electricity Boards at 31st March, 1953, totalled £9,210,028 and £15,057,691, respectively. These figures do not, of course, take account of the fixed assets of the British Electricity Authority in the South of Scotland. The net value of the fixed assets of the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board at 31st December, 1952, was £78,318,654. It is estimated that the net value of all the fixed assets concerned in the whole of Scotland at this period was about £130 million.
