§ 37. Mr. Grieveasked the Minister of Power what estimate he made last November of the possible extent of power cuts in 1966; and what measures he took to alleviate the consequences thereof.
§ Mr. Frederick LeeI estimated that in very severe weather this winter, disconnection of about 3 per cent. of load might become necessary. As it is the job of the Central Electricity Generating Board to make the most of the generating182W plant available, I have kept closely in touch with them and with the Electricity Council.
