HC Deb 17 December 1952 vol 509 cc222-3W
137. Sir H. Williams

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power to exercise his statutory powers under Section 5 of the Electricity Act, 1947, to obtain information from the British Electricity Authority regarding the circumstances attending the dismissal by the Yorkshire Electricity Board of its Public Relations Officer, in view of the fact that this man was principal witness for the Crown in the proceedings last year which were taken after Questions had been asked in this House.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

No. I would add that the Public Relations Officer of the Yorkshire Electricity Board was not, in fact, called as a witness in the proceedings taken in November, 1951, against the Board and others for offences contrary to Regulation 56A of the Defence (General) Regulations, 1939.
