Colonel Clarkeasked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether in view of the shortage of sulphur, he will consider taking measures to ensure that all gas from coke oven and coal carbonisation plants is treated for sulphur recovery.
§ Mr. P. Noel-BakerAll gas supplied to the public from gas works and coke ovens is treated for the recovery of sulphur. The National Coal Board and the iron and steel industry are investigating the possibility of extracting sulphur from some of the coke oven gas which they themselves use, at present, in an unpurified form.
