§ Mr. Priceasked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether, with a view to fuel economy, steps have been taken, or are in contemplation, to introduce lagging in fire-grates and 72-inch ranges in Government Departments?
Major Lloyd GeorgeYes, Sir, I am anxious that all ranges should be lagged as far as possible. I have asked Government Departments to give the matter urgent consideration. As regards open fire-grates, which cannot be lagged, my538W Department has consistently urged the use of fire-bricks as a fuel-economiser.
