§ Mr. Staintonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take steps to ensure that refuse disposal by the Cosford RDC and the sewerage scheme at Shottisham do not halt as a result of lack of fuel.
§ Mr. Tom BoardmanI have been asked to reply.
The disposal of refuse and the operation of sewerage schemes are both priority uses for the purposes of the present oil allocation scheme. If the local authority should experience any difficulty in obtaining adequate supplies of fuel for either of these activities it should approach its local DTI regional office.
