HC Deb 12 March 1968 vol 760 c243W
43. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Power whether he is aware of the anxiety of Dorset farmers about the safety of high voltage electricity lines now stretching across the country, in relation to the farming operations carried out daily; and what steps he has taken to satisfy himself that there is no danger.

Mr. Freeson

Electricity lines have to conform with the Overhead Line Regulations. There is no danger provided normal precautions are taken.
