HC Deb 15 March 1968 vol 760 c387W
Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Minister of Power how many miles of 66 kilovolt underground cable were laid by the electricity boards during the last convenient 12-month period.

Mr. Freeson

During the year ended 31st March, 1967, 19½ miles of 66 kV underground cable were commissioned by area electricity boards in England and Wales. This is about 20 per cent. of the total. Lengths vary as between Boards and seven of them, including the South Eastern Electricity Board, did not commission any 66 kV lines either underground or overhead. Details can be found in the Board's annual reports.
