HC Deb 24 June 1948 vol 452 c151W
7. Mr. Touche

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power when the members of the Consultative Council under the Electricity Act for the South-Eastern Region are to be appointed.

Mr. Gaitskell

As I have already explained in answer to previous Questions, I have not yet received the final list of names from all the organisations which I am required to consult under the Act. Moreover, the task of selecting between 280 and 420 members for fourteen councils from among about 1,400 names submitted to me is bound to take time.
