§ Captain MARTINasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transport if the County of London Electric Power Company have made application to the Electricity Commissioners for permission to erect a large generating station on land at Barking which will find work for a large number of unemployed; and if he will take steps to secure that this application may be considered as quickly as possible?
