§ 43. Mr. Geoffrey Lloydasked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether, in view of the acute shortage of coal supplies for domestic consumers, he will take all possible emergency action to facilitate the supplies of logs in Birmingham.
§ Mr. P. Noel-BakerI understand that the right hon. Gentleman has in mind the difficulties of certain coal merchants who 1332 were not allowed to stock wood logs in railway yards. I have taken the matter up with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport, and I am glad to tell the right hon. Gentleman that these difficulties have now been overcome.
