Mr. JONES:

The reason for the deficiency has been that in the London area we found ourselves in the hands of a monopoly. The only chance we had of breaking down that monopoly was to develop our own electricity supply, and in doing so we had to run certain risks. Those risks we have run, and the result has been that to some extent we have had to subsidise industry.
