§ 5. Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of Fuel and Power why the hon. and gallant Member for Henley is compelled 228W to deal with a coal merchant, Messrs. Facer and Company, 29, Euston Road, London, for retail coal delivery to Towersey, near Thame, 40 miles away; and what facilities will be given to this merchant to enable him to deliver the coal either by motor or horse transport.
§ Mr. ShinwellOn change of residence a consumer is normally allowed to choose the merchant with whom he wishes to register and if the hon. and gallant Member for Henley (Sir G. Fox) so desires the existing registration will be cancelled. The present merchant, however, delivers through a local agent in the case of house coal and by rail and local haulage in the case of boiler fuel and no special road haulage is, therefore, required.
