HC Deb 03 December 1956 vol 561 c81W
30. Mr. Edward Evans

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power how far the proposed development of rural electricity has been curtailed in North-East Suffolk; and how far this curtailment of projected schemes compares with the general halt in development in the country as a whole.

Mr. Aubrey Jones

There has been no general halt in the development of rural electricity in England and Wales as a whole. The progress in individual areas is a matter for the electricity boards themselves.
