HC Deb 18 November 1919 vol 121 c809
66. Mr. WIGNALL

asked the President of the Board of Trade the reason for Clause 48 of the Household Fuel and Lighting Order being cut down so that the representation in the delivery note of the class or quality of the coal, together with the price of same, now only applies to sales of coal for resale, and the statement on the ticket of the class or quality of coal and the price applicable thereto is not obligatory in the sale of coal direct to consumer; and whether he will state what protection, under these circumstances, the consumer has against being defrauded in quality and overcharged in price?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

Clauses 68 and 69 of the Household Fuel and Lighting Order, 1919, take the place of and have the same effect as Clause 48 of the 1918 Order, so far as delivery notes are concerned.
