§ Mr. Price-Whiteasked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he is now able to issue the M form of authorisation for release of steel required to construct eight new gas retort chambers at the Llanfairfechan works of the Holyhead Gas Company, Ltd., in view of the urgent necessity for the immediate provision of such new retorts if Llanfairfechan gas consumers are to be assured of a reasonable supply and quality of gas.
§ Mr. GaitskellI assume the hon. Member has in mind the provision of new retorts at Penmaenmawr. This project was sanctioned by my Department on 31st December, 1947; and arrangements are being made for a form of authorisation for the release of steel to be issued as soon as possible.
