HC Deb 18 December 1947 vol 445 cc1859-60
43. Mr. Keeling

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will arrange for exhibitions in large towns of modern fuel-burning appliances, and for advice as to their use.

Mr. Robens

Yes, Sir. Arrangements for exhibitions of modern domestic fuel burning appliances in London and Glasgow are in hand; similar arrangements will be made in the North Western Region as soon as suitable premises can be obtained. Technical officers will be available at these exhibitions to give advice.

Mr. Keeling

I presume that the Parliamentary Secretary is aware that if coal were not burned wastefully we should have all the coal we need, and should also see the sun much more often than we do?

Mr. Robens

We are anxious to have the utmost fuel efficiency and economy. That is the reason for our technical officers and for these exhibitions.
