§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Minister of Power if he will now take steps to control the resale price of electricity; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. FreesonThe maximum price at which electricity may be resold is laid down by the electricity boards in accordance with their powers under Section 29 of the Electricity Act, 1957. Investigations are being made into the working of this control, and my right hon. Friend is considering what further action may be necessary to improve it.
