§ 44. Sir J. Langford-Holtasked the Minister of Power whether he is aware that overhead transmission lines produce an induced current in electric fences running parallel or near to these lines; and whether he will issue a general direction to the Central Electricity Generating Board to pay compensation for the inconvenience caused to farmers.
