HC Deb 12 December 1946 vol 431 c265W
95. Mr. Palmer

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will take steps to reduce the delays now experienced in obtaining consent to the building of urgently required new power stations.

Mr. Shinwell

Close consultation is already taking place among the Departments concerned which it is hoped will expedite the issue of the formal statutory consents required under the Electricity Supply Acts and Town and Country Planning legislation.
