HC Deb 28 November 1946 vol 430 cc358-9W
127. Mr. Henderson Stewart

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he has considered the representations made to him regarding the inconvenience caused to the inhabitants of Newburgh, Fife, on account of the cut in gas supplies; and what action he is taking.

Mr. Shinwell

I am aware of the inconvenience caused at Newburgh, Fife, on account of the cut in gas supplies. The privately owned gas works of this non- statutory undertaking are in a dilapidated condition but I understad that repairs are being carried out and a full supply of gas has been maintained since last Friday.
