HC Deb 14 July 1947 vol 440 c16W
Sir W. Smiles

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he has considered the complaints sent to him by the Banbridge Urban District Council regarding the non-delivery of coal in Banbridge during June; and, in view of the fact that the Ministry of Commerce, Northern Ireland, and the Divisional Petrol Controller have stated that they cannot help without his permission, if he will now give orders that sufficient petrol is allowed to the firm of Ross Thompson and Company, Banbridge, to enable them to deliver coal to their customers in Banbridge and district.

Mr. Shinwell

I have received the hon. Member's letter about this complaint. I am having inquiries made and a reply will be sent to him as soon as possible.
