§ Mr. WIGNALLasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that in the Island of Jersey, when the increase of 6s. per ton on coal came into operation the consumers of the Island were charged the increased amount, but since the Order for a reduction of 10s. per ton for household purposes the reduction in price has not been put into operation by the coal merchants; and will he take action to see that 1287W the people in the Island are allowed the privilege of the reduction in the price of coal?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI was not aware that coal merchants in Jersey had not reduced the retail price of house coal by 10s. per ton as from the 1st December. Steps are being taken to secure to the people in the Island the full benefit of this reduction.
