§ Mr. Pagetasked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he is aware of the low quality both of opencast and deep-mined coal supplied to merchants in Northampton; and whether he will take steps to improve this quality.
§ Mr. GaitskellI am aware that Northampton merchants have not been entirely satisfied with the qualities allocated to them, but in July alterations were made in the district's sources of supply to bring the allocations of the various qualities into line with those for the North Midland Region generally. If my hon. and learned Friend cares to let me have details of any complaint he has received I will have further inquiries made.
