§ Major Neven-Spenceasked the Secretary for Mines whether the schedules of coal prices found to be appropriate for Orkney and Shetland on 8th May have yet: received official sanction?
§ Mr. GrenfellThe schedules of retail coal prices for Orkney and Shetland were temporarily amended by the divisional coal officer on the date mentioned, and were put into effect by the local fuel overseer. The official publication of the schedules has, in the meantime, been held up in order to allow for the incorporation1370W of further amendments in connection with the Retail Coal Prices Order, 1941, which became effective on 16th June. As these further adjustments may, however, take a little time to complete, arrangements are being made for the official publication of the schedules on the basis of the temporary schedules agreed.
