HC Deb 19 February 1946 vol 419 c200W
Mr. Alpass

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he is aware that the Sodbury Rural District Council at the request of his Ministry undertook a scheme for the collection, cutting and storage of wood fuel in September, 1942; that repeated requests have been made to his Ministry for authority to sell this fuel in view of its rapid deterioration; and will he now give authorisation for its sale.

Mr. W. Foster

There has been difficulty in negotiating the selling price for this wood. Authority has now been given for the sale of the wood on terms which should ensure distribution.
