§ Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenportasked the Paymaster-General what precise steps are taken by the consultative councils of the gas and electricity boards to 84W make known to consumers of gas and electricity that their machinery is available to consider grievances; and whether he will give a general direction to area boards to enclose at least once a year with the consumers' gas or electricity bills a short note setting out the facilities offered to consumers by these councils.
§ Mr. RentonConsultative councils exercise a wide discretion in this matter, making use from time to time of the local Press, posters, leaflets, notes to consumers enclosed with bills, and other forms of publicity; and my noble Friend does not think it would be appropriate for him to prescribe any one method for all councils.
