Vol. 50 No. 9

In Committee on Finance. - Electricity (Supply) (Amendment) Bill, 1934—Money Resolution.

I move:

That, for carrying into effect any Act of the present Session to increase the total amount of the sums which may be advanced to the Electricity Supply Board under the Electricity (Supply) (Amendment) Act, 1931, it is expedient to authorise the advance out of the Central Fund or the growing produce thereof, of such sums not exceeding in the aggregate three million, five hundred and twenty five thousand pounds, as the Minister for Industry and Commerce shall, from time to time certify to be reasonably and properly required by the Electricity Supply Board for any purposes arising in the performance of its functions under the Electricity (Supply) Acts, 1927 to 1932.

Would the Minister say what is the exact amount of money involved?

£1,160,000.

A lot of money to expend on a white elephant.

Resolution agreed to.
Resolution reported and agreed to.
