HC Deb 24 July 1950 vol 478 cc15-6W
97. Mr. John Rodgers

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is aware that present-day quality coke does not burn satisfactorily in many cookers and that only the most recently manufactured cookers are designed to burn coke; and if he will take steps to ensure a sufficient supply in the south-east area of the small anthracite known in the trade as peanuts to prevent the wasteful and unsatisfactory use of coke.

Mr. P. Noel-Baker

I am not aware of the difficulties to which the hon. Member refers, but if he will let me have particulars of the types of cooker which he has in mind, I will look into the matter.
