HC Deb 14 December 1939 vol 355 c1273W
Mr. Duncan

asked the Minister of Transport whether, having regard to the fact that the Notting Hill Electric Lighting Company is threatening to increase its standing charges for light to certain shopkeepers and others in the Notting Hill Gate area by from 80 to 150 per cent., he will order an inquiry to see if these increases are justified; and whether he will sanction no such increases until the inquiry has been held?

Captain Wallace

The Electricity Commissioners are in communication with the company on the matter. I will write to my hon. Friend as soon as the inquiries are completed.
