§ 59. Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Power if he will give a general direction, in the public interest, to the Eastern Electricity Board, not to charge fees for pre-payment collection from meters designed to prevent theft when consumers are on holiday.
§ Mr. PeytonNo. This is a matter for the discretion of the Board. I understand that they have a standard charge118W of 7s. 6d., but that they will make no charge where a special collection seems prudent in the light of local circumstances.
