§ Mr. Nieldasked the Minister of Fuel and Power if, when a registered customer satisfies a local fuel controller that he is not receiving adequate service from his coal merchant, he can be registered with a fresh supplier without being required to be released by the original coal merchant.
§ Mr. ShinwellThe grant or refusal of a change of registration for coal supplies rests entirely with the local fuel overseer. The consent of the original merchant to a transfer is not required, although he is usually given the opportunity to refute allegations of unsatisfactory service.
