Oral Answers to Questions — Fuel and Power – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 6 Tachwedd 1947.
asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he will state the extent to which, since August, 1945, it has been possible to utilise the facilities offered by the Royal Dockyards in Great Britain for the repair and renovation of electrical generating plant.
I have been asked to reply. I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply given to him on 3rd November. Orders for the repair and renovation of electrical generating plant are normally placed by the electricity undertakings with the original manufacturers, who are fully aware of the facilities available at the Royal Dockyards and have made certain use of them.
In view of the very great necessity for the repair and renovation of electrical generating plant in this country, will the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance that these facilities will continue to be borne in mind?
Yes, Sir.
Does the Minister's reply refer also to Rosyth?
I should want notice of that question. My reply means that we have informed the manufacturers of this generating plant of the facilities which the Royal Dockyards will make available to them.
