Mr. JEPHCOTT

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he has received representations as to the desirability of an inquiry into the recent change in the method of charging for gas; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?

Sir P. LLOYD-GREAME

A number of representations of the kind to which my hon. Friend refers have been made to me, and I have appointed a Departmental Committee to inquire into the method of charging for gas on a thermal basis. The Committee consists of Sir Clarendon Hyde (Chairman), Mr. Arthur Balfour, Sir James Martin, Mr. A. A. Pugh, and Mr. W. J. U. Woolcock.
