ELECTRIC POWER
SCHEMES FOR BRITAIN. LABOUR AND LIBERALS ACTIVE. (By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright.) LONDON. July 10. The lobby correspondent of the Daily Herald says that the Government’s comprehensive scheme for State-assisted development of electricity, aiming at the provision of cheap power ail over the country, after a thorough examination by the Cabinet’s Unemployment Committee, will be explained at to-day’s meetings of the Parliamentary Party and announced in the House of Commons prior to the recess. Meanwhile the Liberals have been investigating the same principles and Mr Lloyd George intends to introduce a Bill dealing with electric power, and the coal mining industry, proposing to generate electricity near the pitheads. The Bill, incidentally, is intended to counter Labour’s mine nationalisation policy.
