HC Deb 20 November 1973 vol 864 c401W
Mr. James Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what instructions have been sent to local authorities as regards the emergency powers in relation to heating of schools; and when these instructions were sent.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Copies of the Electricity (Heating) (Restriction) Order 1973 were sent to local authorities on Friday 16th November. Separate copies were sent on the same day to directors of education under cover of a letter confirming that the order had been amended so as to exclude schools, colleges and other places of education from its scope.
