HC Deb 06 December 1927 vol 211 cc1204-5W
Colonel BURTON

asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the map accompanying the South-East Electricity Scheme; whether he can state at what points beween Ipswich and the western border of Suffolk the projected grid line from Ipswich to Cambridge can be tapped; and what would be the approximate cost of supplying the towns of Sudbury, Hadleigh, and Haverhill from this source?

Colonel ASHLEY

I have seen the map accompanying the South-East England Electricity Scheme, which has been prepared by the Electricity Commissioners. In that scheme no proposals are made for tapping the line between Ipswich and the western border of Suffolk. It is, however, open to the Central Electricity Board to arrange at a later date for tapping the grid if that should prove the most economical method of affording a supply to authorised undertakers.
