HC Deb 22 March 1956 vol 550 cc146-7W
Mr. Patrick Maitland

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland to use his powers under Section 10 of the Hydro-Electric Development (Scotland) Act, 1943, as amended by later legislation, to ensure that the Scottish Electricity Boards do not charge smallholders on the basis of the farm tariff.

Mr. J. Stuart

Under Section 10A of the Hydro-Electric Development (Scotland) Act, 1943, as amended by the Electricity Reorganisation (Scotland) Act, 1954, the fixing of tariffs is a matter for the Electricity Board concerned and I have no authority to intervene.
