– in the House of Commons at on 27 March 1935.
Mr John Wardlaw-Milne
, Kidderminster
asked the Minister of Transport how much of the sum of £3,651,432 which is shown in the annual accounts published by the Central Electricity Board for the year ended 31st December, 1933, as receivable by them in respect of sale of energy, was receivable in respect of energy sold by the board in the Central Scotland area and the Mid-East England area, respectively?

I have no information beyond that contained in the accounts to which my hon. Friend refers.
Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
