HC Deb 28 January 1931 vol 247 c998W
Mr. HARDIE

asked the Minister of Transport what is the total amount of money spent in carrying out the provisions of the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1926, so far as they have gone to the nearest date?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I understand that contracts to an aggregate value of £18,200,000 for the construction of the grid system have already been entered into by the Central Electricity Board and that they have in addition authorised expenditure amounting to over £4,250,000 on the standardisation of frequency.
