Abstract :
It is widely known that the electricity supply industry in Great Britain was nationalised (Electricity Act, 1947) by a Labour government in accordance with Clause 4 of the Party´s then Constitution, but there are other reasons why a large-scale reorganisation was needed. It is well known, too, that the newly nationalised industry had problems in engineering, but there were also other problems. Here, the author discusses some of these other problems in which he was involved.
