HC Deb 15 October 1946 vol 427 c173W
137. Major Roberts

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what are the arrangements which have been, or are being, made by him in regard to capital expenditure incurred by electricity undertakers on development of supplies during the period prior to any legislation affecting the industry; and have such arrangements been communicated to the interested parties.

Mr. Shinwell

After a meeting held last May between a committee representative of the electricity supply industry and officials of my Ministry, a formula was communicated to the committee who, however, have not yet favoured me with their views.
