HC Deb 16 November 1948 vol 458 cc29-30W
91. Sir J. Mellor

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power under what statutory powers he has authorised the London Electricity Board to raise charges to domestic consumers and cancel existing contracts, without the consent of the other parties.

Mr. Robens

The Electricity Boards require no authorisation from the Minister to alter their charges to domestic consumers and my right hon. Friend has issued no such authorisation.
