HC Deb 27 April 1953 vol 514 c87W
2. Mr. G. Williams

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what steps he is taking to encourage the summer stocking of coal.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

On the stocking of domestic coal, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Kidderminster (Mr. Nabarro) on 20th April. The stocking of industrial coal is also of great importance, and I would urge industrial concerns to take all the coal that is made available to them during the summer by the National Coal Board and to make every effort to secure that their stocks are raised by the end of the summer to a high level.
