HC Deb 26 March 1930 vol 237 c436W
Sir A. SINCLAIR

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is yet in a position to announce the results of the preliminary engineering survey by the electricity commissioners of Northern and Southern Scotland; and whether a scheme for extending the main transmission lines into the Highlands and other rural areas of Scotland has yet been framed or is now in course of preparation?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The Electricity Commissioners have informed me that they have riot yet come to a conclusion as to whether a scheme under the Act of 1926 for extending the main transmission lines into the Highlands and other rural areas of Scotland will be-economically practicable.
