HC Deb 18 December 1947 vol 445 c376W
73. Colonel Ropner

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he is aware that many churches and chapels throughout the country are unable to obtain sufficient fuel for heating purposes; and whether he will arrange for places of worship to be given higher priority for supplies of coal or coke.

Mr. Gaitskell

Buildings used for religious purposes are given every assistance that the supply situation permits. If the hon. Member will send me particulars of any individual cases brought to his notice I shall be glad to have inquiries made.
