§ 113. Mr. Blackburnasked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will consider limiting the sale of electrical fires to 218W persons setting up house for the first time or for the replacement of existing fires, or to special cases such as invalids.
§ Mr. GaitskellMy hon. Friend's proposal would require an elaborate and costly licensing system, the manpower for which we can ill afford in present circumstances. The measures to restrict the consumption of electricity which my right hon. Friend recently announced will, I consider, be more effective in achieving the objects which my hon. Friend has in view.
