HL Deb 06 May 1924 vol 57 cc279-80
LORD MUIR MACKENZIE

My Lords, I beg to move the Motion which appears on the Paper in my name. Immediately before the Easter Recess this Motion was before the House, but intimation was given that there was some opposition to the confirmation of the Order referred to, and at the suggestion of the Chairman of Committees I postponed the Motion until to-day. Notice has now been received that the opposition has been withdrawn. I therefore beg to move the Motion standing in my name for the confirmation of this Order.

Moved, That the Special Order made by the Electricity Commissioners under the Electricity (Supply) Acts, 1882 to 1922, and confirmed by the Minister of Transport under the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1919, in respect of the urban districts of Awre, Coleford, Nailsworth, Newnham, and Westbury-on-Severn, the rural districts of West Dean, East Dean, and United Parishes, Wheatenhurst, Dursley, and Stroud, and parts of the rural districts of Thornbury and Lydney, all in the County of Gloucester, and for other purposes, which was presented on the 1st day of April, 1924, be approved.—(Lord Muir Mackenzie.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
