HC Deb 24 April 1947 vol 436 c124W
73. Mr. Gammans

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what was the estimated saving in coal in the month of March effected by the restrictions on street lighting.

Mr. Shinwell

It is impossible to give any exact figure, but as a very rough estimate coal consumption on street lighting in March was 30,000 tons less than the average monthly rate in 1946.
