§ 23. Mr. Woodburnasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what progress has been made in preparing an administrative scheme for the work of the South of Scotland Electricity Board; and what arrangements have been made in the West and East of Scotland.
§ Mr. J. StuartThere is no provision in the Electricity Reorganisation (Scotland) Act, 1954, for the preparation of an administrative scheme by the South of Scotland Board.
§ Mr. WoodburnDoes the Secretary of State recollect that when the Act went through the House an Opposition Amendment that the Board should be left to fix its own arrangements as between the east and the west of Scotland was agreed to? Has the Board completed its arrangements in this regard, and is it possible to have some report about how the Board will organise its work in the south of Scotland?
§ Mr. StuartI do not think this is the best time in answer to a Question, but I will be very glad to furnish details of what the Board has done.
