HC Deb 14 December 1948 vol 459 c114W
118. Mr. T. Brown

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power, in view of the increased output of deep mined coal, if he will reconsider the coal allocations to domestic consumers and especially those whose homes have neither gas nor electricity installed, especially for the first quarter of 1949.

Mr. Robens

On the general question of domestic coal allowances I would refer to the answer my right hon. Friend gave on 4th November to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Kidderminster (Mr. Tolley). In the case of consumers who have to rely on solid fuel for cooking, local fuel overseers have standing instructions to issue licences, on application, for additional allowances.
