§ 73. Mrs. Middletonasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what has been the saving of power to the national grid during the weeks ending 15th-22nd February, resulting from the emergency supply of electric power at Devonport Dockyard from H.M. submarines.
§ Mr. W. EdwardsThe use of submarines to generate electric power at Devonport Dockyard has not affected the use of electricity from the national grid from which a small amount is drawn to supplement the supply from the Dockyard Generating Station. It has, however, resulted in a saving of coal used at the Dockyard Generating Station of 214 tons for week ending 15th February, and 350 tons for week ending 22nd February, 1947.
