HC Deb 20 March 1947 vol 435 c102W
84. Mr. Champion

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is considering the possibility of the utilisation of the potential energy in the water supplies to towns in those instances where there is a considerable fall from the reservoir to the point of supply to the public.

Mr. Shinwell

The Electricity Commissioners in consultation with the Ministry of Health are investigating cases where a sufficient head of water may be available for generating electricity.
