HC Deb 12 December 1973 vol 866 c169W
Mr. Laurance Reed

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will exempt outdoor Christmas trees from lighting restrictions on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve.

Mr. Emery

I have decided to issue a general licence which will permit the consumption of electricity for the purpose of lighting outdoor Christmas trees on Christmas Day, Christmas Eve, the 22nd and 23rd December and one earlier day for a lighting-up ceremony.
