Major TERRELLasked the Minister of Munitions whether his attention has been called to a circular letter issued by the Incorporated Municipal Electrical Association, in which it is stated that a close connection exists between the principal staff 1635W of the Ministry of Munitions and large private electricity undertakings, which has resulted in a want of impartiality on the part of the Government Department concerned in granting permits for power-station and plant extensions of large electricity supply undertakings; and whether he proposes to take any and what steps to refute such charge?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYMy right hon. Friend has received a copy of the circular letter referred to in the question, and has asked the association to supply him with the specific grounds on which the charge of a want of impartiality is based.
