HC Deb 20 November 1952 vol 507 c209W
146. Mr. Edward Davies

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power how far industrial requirements for gas are being met in the West Midlands, with particular reference to the pottery industry.

Mr. Joynson-Hicks

My right hon. Friend is informed that there are many industrialists in the West Midlands who desire to obtain additional supplies of gas, largely in place of other forms of fuel. The Area Board has in hand projects which, when completed, will fully meet this additional demand.
