110. Colonel Wheatleyasked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is satisfied that the actual progress made up to 31st January, in the construction of the power stations at West Ham, Poplar, Deptford, and Bankside is in accordance with the programme as originally planned.
§ Mr. GaitskellThe original programmes had to be revised in the light of various difficulties arising from the war, which prevented their being started on time. Further revisions were recently made in accordance with capital investment policy. I consider that the actual progress made on these four stations is satisfactory having regard to these revisions.
