HC Deb 23 February 1955 vol 537 cc154-5W
56. Mr. Hay

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement about the officially proposed nationalisation of the electricity under takings in Mauritius.

Mr. Hopkinson

I assume that my hon. Friend is referring to the negotiations now in train for purchase of the General Electric Supply Company by the Central Electricity Board of Mauritius. I am not at present able to add to my right hon. Friend's reply on 2nd February to the hon. Member for Rugby (Mr. J. Johnson).
