HC Deb 15 November 1948 vol 458 cc12-3W
23. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what arrangements are being made for displaying draft maps showing the boundaries proposed for the Area Gas Boards.

Mr. Gaitskell

As promised during the passage of the Gas Bill through this House, I am arranging for the maps showing the boundaries proposed for the areas of the Area Gas Boards to be available in draft form to the public for a period before I sign the Order defining the areas under Section 6 of the Gas Act, 1948. As announced in the Press, the maps are on display, for a fortnight from today, at the Headquarters and at regional offices of the Ministry of Fuel and Power. For the convenience of hon. Members, arrangements have also been made for copies of the maps to be displayed in the Reference Room of the Library.
