HC Deb 29 June 1920 vol 131 c347

(4) An Order under this Section—

(c) may prescribe, subject to such conditions as the Board may think necessary, the additional charge per therm which the undertakers may make in respect of gas supplied by means of prepayment meters; and

Mr. ATKEY

I beg to move, at the end of Sub-section (4), to insert a new paragraph— (d) may require the undertakers to construct and work to the satisfaction of the Board suitable plant for the extraction of such by-products of coal as the Board considers necessary in the public interest: Provided that no such requirement shall be made if it appears to the Board that any loss of revenue due to the reduction in the calorific value and value of gas owing to such extraction will not be compensated for by the probable net proceeds of the by-pro-ducts so derived. Amendment not seconded.
