§ Mr. Titteringtonasked the Minister of Fuel and Power (1) whether he will now permit separate registration with a gas works or other coke producer to any consumers who use coke;
(2) whether in order to assist consumers who only purchase coke in very small quantities he will increase the amount which can be obtained outside the restrictions.
§ Mr. GaitskellI am giving instructions that separate registration with a coke producer shall in future be allowed to any consumer on application to the local fuel overseer. I also propose, as from 1st May, to increase from 28 lb. to 56 lb. at a time the quantity which may be obtained outside the restrictions.
