§ 68. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyreasked the Minister of Fuel and Power if supplies of household coal and boiler fuel to coal merchants during the summer months will be adequate to enable them to meet all demands from their customers for stocking up to the permitted quantities.
§ Mr. ShinwellNo. The supply position at present is such that all consumers cannot expect to receive the maximum permitted quantities of house coal and boiler fuel for the summer period.
§ 72. Mr. Skinnardasked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether in order to ensure a more equitable distribution of available supplies of domestic fuel, he will make a regulation that where premises are registered with a gas light and coke company for coke supplies and also with a coal merchant for house coal, the coal merchant must not supply any Group 2 fuel without a permit from the local fuel overseer.
§ Mr. ShinwellThis is one of the questions relating to boiler fuel supplies now under consideration. I will let my hon. Friend know when a decision has been reached.
