HC Deb 07 November 1939 vol 353 c77W
Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he is aware that the director of education in Norwich has been appointed fuel control officer, which appointment is likely to prevent him from attending adequately to his duties; and whether he will give guidance to local authorities on such appointments?

Mr. Lloyd

The appointment of local fuel overseers is a matter for local authorities. I am sending the hon. Member copies of the instructions which have been sent to local authorities in this connection.
