§ Mr. Nabarroasked the Minister of Fuel and Power the revised capital investment programme for the Central Electricity Authority and area boards as a result of the recent Government decision on economic measures in respect of the years 1955–56, 1956–57, and 1957–58; and what diminution in new installed generating capacity, KwI, will eventuate in those years.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydConsultation with the Central Electricity Authority continues, but since the authorised programme for generating capacity for222W 1955–56 and 1956–57 is no more than adequate to meet reasonable estimates of demand and is already in progress, I cannot encourage hopes of capital savings in that field.
