§ Major GLYNasked the Minister of Transport what interest the Greater London and Counties Trust has in the development of electrical supply under the terms of the Electricity Act; what proportion of the capital of this trust is British; whether the control is British; and which are the authorised undertakers that operate under the control of this trust?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONThe Greater London and Counties Trust is not an authorised electricity undertaker within the meaning of the Electricity Acts. Information is not available as to the proportion of the capital of the trust which is British, but, in a public statement by the chairman on 15th February, 1929, it was stated that the board of directors is and will remain British. So far as I have been able to ascertain, there are upwards of 50 authorised undertakers operating directly or indirectly under the control of the trust.
