HC Deb 12 June 1918 vol 106 cc2209-10
69. Mr. ROWLANDS

asked when the new Order with regard to coal and lighting will be issued?

Mr. WARDLE

I hope that it will be possible to issue the Order next week.

Mr. ROWLANDS

Will the hon. Gentleman have some copies of the Order placed in the Vote office as soon as it is issued?

Mr. WARDLE

I will have inquiries made.

70. Mr. ROWLANDS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the early time at which the street lamps are lit; and will he consider the advisability of making representations to the local authorities with the object of having the street lamps lit later in order to effect a saving of power and to gain the full economic advantage of the Daylight Saving Act?

Mr. WARDLE

Yes, Sir; and I am in communication with the Home Office in the matter.
