§ 15. Mr. Mitchisonasked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is aware that a change in the type of coal supplied to the Creaton Sanatorium, near Northampton, was followed by a considerable increase in the smoke from the sanatorium chimney; and whether he will arrange for better coal, so as to avoid harm to the sanatorium patients and nuisance to adjacent residents.
§ Mr. RobensThe change in the type of fuel supplied to the sanatorium was made following a careful review of existing plant. The Ministry's fuel engineers are satisfied that it is capable of burning the fuel supplied without creating a smoke nuisance and this has been demonstrated by one of our practical technicians. I have arranged for the fuel engineers to visit the establishment again to ascertain what difficulties are now being encountered and I will advise my hon. and learned Friend of the result.
