HC Deb 03 March 1952 vol 497 c13W
102. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what steps he is taking to reduce the quantities of stone and solid rock which is at present being delivered in house-coal trucks to Altrincham sidings from West Thorp unit at the rate of 16 cwt. per 10-ton coal truck.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

This is a matter for the National Coal Board. The recourse of any merchant who receives a consignment of coal which is not properly prepared is to the Board.
