8. Mr. Besssellasked the Minister of Power whether he will now introduce legislation to provide a scheme to equalise the price of domestic fuel throughout the country.
§ Mr. BessellIs the hon. Gentleman aware of the considerable difference in the price of domestic fuel in Cornwall and the rest of the country? Does not he regard it as harsh injustice that people should not obtain fuel at an equal price from a nationalised industry? Will he look at this matter again?
§ Dr. BrayCosts vary considerably from one part of the country to another, taking into account transport and so on. It is only right that prices should reflect costs.
Mr. Edward M. TaylorIf certain pits are kept open in certain areas for social reasons, why should the entire cost of that be put on the people who live there?
