HC Deb 07 May 1947 vol 437 cc63-4W
Mr. Prescott

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power in what circumstances relatives living in the same house are entitled to an increased allocation of coal over and above the normal quota.

Mr. Shinwell

When a local fuel overseer is satisfied that additional solid fuel is needed for premises in which the conditions do not justify a second registration, he will authorise such extra supplies as the circumstances warrant. I am sending to the hon. Member a copy of a leaflet explaining the circumstances in which extra fuel may be granted for sub-tenants.
