HC Deb 19 March 1947 vol 435 c85W
Mr. Naylor

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he is aware of the growing practice among coal merchants in South-wark and other parts of South-East London of selling coal in the streets to unregistered customers; and if he will take steps to put an end to this infraction of the law.

Mr. Shinwell

I am not aware of the practice mentioned by my hon. Friend but would be glad to consider any evidence he has, so that suitable steps could be taken to deal with the matter.
