HC Deb 18 December 1970 vol 808 c509W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether in view of the evidence sent to him by the hon. Member for West Ham, North, of the wastage of millions of pounds by the electricity industry, he will arrange for an independent investigation to be made into these charges of neglect and maladministration.

Sir J. Eden

No. The subject of delays in commissioning C.E.G.B. power stations has already been examined by a Committee of Inquiry, whose Report (Cmnd. 3960) was published in March, 1969.
