HC Deb 17 February 1948 vol 447 c216W
Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power when it is proposed to introduce electricity into the village of Barrhill, Ayrshire.

Mr. Gaitskell

The Ayrshire Electricity Board have a five-year plan for the extension of electricity to all localities in their area at present without a supply. In view of the acute shortage of materials, however, it is unfortunately not possible to give any priority to general village supplies or to say when the village of Barr-hill can be connected up.
