§ 62. Mr. Grenfellasked the Minister of Agriculture with a view to increased food production, if he will consult with the British Electricity Authority in regard to the promotion of rural electricity schemes in Wales, and as to whether certain small extensions of mains at Velindre, Dunvant and Llanmorlais in the Gower Division which have been discussed by the local farmers, by the Electricity Board's officers and the Member of Parliament for the constituency shall now be authorised and completed so as to provide for the earliest possible supply of current for lighting and small farm power units.
§ Sir T. DugdaleThe extent to which the electricity boards can give electricity supplies in rural areas, including those 49W in Wales, depends on the resources which can be made available. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Fuel and Power hopes to make a statement on the general position shortly.
