HC Deb 21 September 1939 vol 351 cc1071-2W
Mr. Silkin

asked the Secretary for Mines whether, in fixing the fuel, heating, and lighting rations for householders and others, he will make provision for the interchangeability on a fixed scale of, say, gas or coal for electricity and vice versa at the householders option for the benefit of those who may desire to economise by using one form of fuel or lighting instead of that previously used?

Mr. Lloyd

The Fuel and Lighting Order, 1939, contains provisions whereby a householder may, if he so desires, change either partially or wholly from one kind of fuel to another.
