HC Deb 15 December 1947 vol 445 c291W
124. Mr. Beswick

asked the Minister of Works if he is aware that there are 4 occupied houses belonging to the Ruislip-Northwood Council at Northwood Hills, 19 at Hunter Hill, South Ruislip and 28 aluminium houses in the same area shortly to be occupied all of which are without electric power; and why the necessary cable, ordered in January, 1947, has not been delivered; and when he expects delivery to be made.

Mr. Key

Yes. I understand that the cable will be delivered early in January. The delay has been largely due to the heavy demand for works of highest priority such as power stations.
