HC Deb 03 February 1949 vol 460 c246W
Mr. Granville

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether charitable bequests, which have been paid in coal and have been discontinued, can be resumed now that the coal supply position has been improved.

Mr. Gaitskell

It is for the National Coal Board to decide whether, subject to the provisions of the Coal Distribution Order, 1943, coal may be supplied free or at a reduced price for certain charitable purposes.
