HC Deb 05 February 1918 vol 101 c2139W
Mr. BYRNE

asked the Minister of Munitions if the Dublin Corporation has complained that the rights conferred upon them by Act of Parliament as to the supply of electricity have been unduly interfered with by a Government order to a Dublin company to give a supply to a private consumer; if he is aware that the Dublin company is prohibited by Act of Parliament from giving any such supply; if he is aware that the Dublin Corporation, having expended £750,000 on its electricity undertaking, is in a position to give the supply in question provided the necessary permits for some additional material are issued from the Ministry of Munitions; and if he will say what action he proposes to take in the matter?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am looking into this matter, and will communicate with my hon. Friend.
