HC Deb 19 December 1955 vol 547 cc253-4W
91. Mr. Callaghan

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will issue a general direction to the Central Electricity Authority and area gas boards to prevent them from pursuing their declared policy of discontinuing the hire of cookers and other domestic appliances to consumers.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

The Boards have not proposed to withdraw apparatus now on hire but have agreed to limit new hirings.
