HC Deb 08 October 1946 vol 427 c24W
Lieut.-Colonel Sharp

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power when he proposes relaxing the general restrictions on shop-window lighting; and if he will give an assurance that such relaxations will be made before the Christmas period.

Mr. Shinwell

I regret that the fuel position docs not justify any relaxation of the lighting restrictions at present. I cannot predict the position at Christmas, but if there is any substantial improvement, I will consider this matter again.
