§ Mr. ShinwellCoal supplies within the general limits allowed by the restrictions are obtainable irrespective of any use made of paraffin or other alternative fuels. Where, however, a consumer has been granted priority supplies of paraffin for cooking and heating, that is taken into account when he asks for extra coal. I am not aware of any priority consumer of paraffin in North Norfolk who is unable to obtain supplies.
