§ 94. Mr. Youngerasked the Minister. of Fuel and Power why the Grimsby Fish Meal Company has been granted a.404 allocation of coal of only 195 tons as compared with 330 tons at the same time last year, although supplies of AO for processing are larger than last 3741 and are still increasing.

§ Mr. ShinwellOwing to the fact that consumption was averaging 200 tons per week and stocks of coal amounted to 929 tons the allocation for the Grimsby Fish Meal Company was reduced last July from 330 tons to 195 tons per week, at which figure it remained when the new allocation arrangements came into operation on 20th January. Under these arrangements, however, provision was made for supplementary allocations being granted by the Regional Fuel Allocation Committee in those cases where this was justified by the importance of the firm's production.
