§ 62. Mr. Dayasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, seeing that the wilful damping of coke is an offence under some of the local laws, he will consider introducing legislation taking powers to amend the general law, in order to pre scribe a maximum moisture content for all coke offered for sale to the public?
§ Mr. StanleyThe suggestion made by the hon. Member will be borne in mind when any convenient opportunity arises for amending the law.
§ Mr. DayDoes not the right hon. Gentleman consider, as this is already an offence under some local laws, that it would be better to make the legislation general?
§ Mr. StanleyIt is for that reason that I am giving the matter consideration.
