§ Sir W. DAVISONasked the Minister of Transport what is the present cost per unit of electricity for light and power, respectively, in each of the London boroughs and the City of London; and when it is expected that uniformity of price will be secured?
§ Colonel ASHLEYAs regards the first part of this question, the particulars desired are summarised in a statement of about 25 pages published by the London and Home Counties Joint Electricity Authority, and I would refer my hon. Friend to this statement. As regards the second part, I do not think that there620W is at present any prospect of the introduction of complete uniformity in the charges for electricity in London, but the Joint Electricity Authority are reviewing the existing tariffs, and propose to consider how far a greater uniformity in the methods of charge could be recommended.
