§ 50. Mr. D. GRENFELL (for Mr. PARKINSON)asked the First Commissioner of Works if he will consider the desirability of using good quality coal in preference to what is now being used for heating in the libraries and corridors of this House?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREThe present experimental use of smokeless fuel, designed to encourage the use of low temperature carbonisation bye-products in Government buildings, was introduced by the late Labour Government. I am satisfied that this smokeless fuel now in use is an efficient heating agent, but I propose to re-examine the whole question at the end of the present heating season.
