HC Deb 14 October 1946 vol 427 c124W
102. Lieut.-Colonel Sharp

asked the Minister of Supply whether he will arrange for overall priority in the supply of electricity generating plant and equipment to be given to the Central Electricity Board, so that industrial demands may be met with the maximum saving of coal.

Mr. Wilmot

The orders for the Central Electricity Board are part of a long-term planned programme and to give them overall priority would not substantially hasten their completion and would interfere with the orders for export and other essential home requirements.
