The summary of the report issued through the Press Bureau states that the chairmen were strongly of opinion that electric power should be generated on a national system, but they thought that the administrative system recommended by the Williamson Committee was too complex (particularly in regard to the methods of finance proposed) to operate with the celerity and uniformity nece sary to take advantage of the opportunity of prometing a comprehensive system of electric power supply throughout the United Kingdom on the termination of the war. It seemed to them essential that the creation of large generating stations should be taken in hand at once, and that adequate, provision for tho development of backward areas, espe cially having regard to the desirability of increased use of electric power for agricultural purposes. should be made upon a national scale forthwith. They accordingly came to the conclusion that any efficient system for the development of electrical generation and main-line. transmission in the United Kingdom must be not only a national system, but a single unified system under State re gulation, in the financing of which the State would participate on a large scale It should however, be framed and, ad- ministered throughout upon a definitely. commercial basis, and not in any sense upon Civil Service lines. They believed that upon this footing it should be pos sible to supply current in different areas at rates highly favourable to consumers of power in comparison with present rates, and at the same time to provide for interest upon capital for renewals of plant and amortisation, and allow of a balance being carried to a reserve fund.

While fully sensible of the necessity of limiting to the utmost extent any further capital commitments of the State, the chairmen lay stress-upon the vital import- ance of a full development of electric. pawer for productive purposes. They point out that the development of such power in the United Kingdom is at pre- sent in its infancy, and that high autho rities have estimated the loss incurred by the nation through failure to take full advantage of electrical progress at not On the less than £100,000,000 a year. other hand, the capital, value at present
