HC Deb 14 July 1937 vol 326 c1277W
Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will inquire from the Electricity Commissioners by whose authority a letter was sent, on 8th June, 1937, from sub-committee E of the Electricity Commission, Savoy Court, W.C.2, to the heads of electrical supply undertakings in the London area asking for the number of naval ratings and volunteers required to maintain essential services in the event of a strike or other emergency?

Mr. Burgin

This inquiry was made of all owners of large generating stations in the London area as part of the ordinary routine for periodically bringing up to date the information necessary to ensure continuity of this essential service in times of emergency.
