§ Squadron-Leader Donnerasked the Minister of Fuel and Power what procedure is adopted to permit fuel overseers to carry out their duty of seeing that priority certificates for the delivery of coal are honoured.
§ Mr. Shinwell:Merchants have undertaken to ensure immediate deliveries in response to priority requests by local fuel overseers. The consumer receives a copy of the priority notice, on which a space is provided for him to notify the local fuel overseer if delivery is not made within the specified time so that statutory direction can then be issued if required.
