Electricity Commissioners
The Electricity (Supply) Act 1919 provided for the establishment of the Electricity Commissioners to be responsible for all aspects of electricity supply.
In March 1937, the Minister of Transport announced that the Government had decided to adopt, in principle, the main recommendations of the McGowan Committee. A White Paper was issued proposing that the Electricity Commissioners should review each district and prepare schemes for their consolidation into groups, rather than delegate this duty to District Commissioners.
