HC Deb 25 July 1955 vol 544 c89W
71. Mr. Gower

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power the terms of reference of the Departmental inquiry now in progress to decide whether Wales shall have its own separate electricity board; if he will state what bodies or persons were invited to make representations or to give evidence at this inquiry; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Joynson-Hicks

I assume my hon. Friend is referring to the Committee of Inquiry under the Chairmanship of Sir Edwin Herbert which is inquiring into the organisation and efficiency of the electricity supply industry in England and Wales.

I understand that this Committee recently visited Wales in order to give interested persons and organisations an opportunity for discussion of all questions affecting the electricity supply industry in Wales.
