HC Deb 16 April 1946 vol 421 c392W
20. Mr. Gooch

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is aware of the inability of the Norwich Corporation and the East Anglian Electric Supply Company to commence their extension schemes in North Norfolk owing to the shortage of materials and labour; and if he will consult with the other Government Departments concerned to overcome this difficulty.

Mr. Shinwell:

My Department is already in consultation with other Departments concerned and everything possible is being done to alleviate the position arising from the present shortage of labour and materials.
