HC Deb 08 April 1948 vol 449 c349
61. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will now make a statement on the coal/oil conversion programme.

Mr. Gaitskell

I have nothing at present to add to the reply given to the hon. Member by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary on Tuesday last during the Adjournment Debate.

Mr. Erroll

That merely dealt with fuel oil. Can the right hon. Gentleman make a more comprehensive statement now?

Mr. Gaitskell

My hon. Friend said that I would make a statement on coal-oil conversion shortly, but two days is not quite long enough.

Mr. Erroll

The Question has been down for a long time.
