§ 102. Mr. Ian Harveyasked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he now proposes to adopt a system of frequency-controlled load shedding along the lines of the invention of Mr. John Redman of Harrow Weald which his Department has investigated.
§ Mr. P. Noel-BakerThe frequency relay apparatus invented by Mr. Redman has, I understand, been examined technically by the British Electricity Authority. It is one of a number of devices by which it might be technically possible to control peak loads. Experiments on other devices have already been made by the British Electricity Authority and more may be expected in the very near future. I cannot say which particular device or devices may be adopted.
