HC Deb 19 December 1946 vol 431 cc440-1W
112. Sir G. Fox

asked the Minister of Works what up-to-date scientific arrangements have been made to ensure the maximum efficiency in the burning of coal at the Ministry of Fuel and Power; and whether arrangements will be made for those interested in fuel efficiency to inspect these arrangements.

Mr. Tomlinson

The boilers at the principal office of the Ministry of Fuel and Power are of simple design and small capacity, and economic combustion of fuel is obtained by efficient stoking and careful supervision. If those who wish to inspect the apparatus will communicate with me, I will make the necessary arrangements with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Fuel and Power.
