HC Deb 30 January 1945 vol 407 c1292W
Mr. E. J. Williams

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he will increase the supply of domestic fuel in the Bridgend district, Glamorgan, particularly in view of the hardship caused by recent flooding in this locality.

Major Lloyd George

Yes, Sir. Extra supplies for this district have been arranged.

Mr. Brooke

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power how he proposes to mitigate the hardship that will otherwise be caused to people in London and elsewhere, prevented by the recent impeding of house-to-house deliveries through weather conditions, from getting in coal or coke before 31st January, the end of the present rationing period.

Major Lloyd George

The maximum quantities permitted during the period February-April are intended to suffice for the needs of all normal households during that period. Where exceptional circumstances exist, consumers should make application for increased quantities to the Local Fuel Overseer, who has power to deal with genuine cases of hardship.
