HC Deb 02 August 1956 vol 557 cc199-200W
Mr. Oram

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware of the difficulties of retail coal merchants in persuading their deliverers to carry coal up stair-cases and along lengthy garden paths and passageways; and if he will circularise local authorities on this point at a suitable opportunity with a view to ensuring that in planning new housing estates and flats, local authorities' architects do not overlook the desirability of providing coal storage facilities which are quickly accessible to coal deliverers.

Mr. Sandys

I will certainly bear this suggestion in mind, but the convenience of the tenants has also to be remembered.
