HC Deb 28 February 1955 vol 537 c218W
69. Mr. Shurmer

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he is aware that the present allocation of coal to householders in the City of Birmingham is insufficient to meet their needs; that coal merchants in that city are unable to meet the present demands of their customers; and if he will consider increasing the allocation, and ensure that adequate stocks of coal are available to the merchants of that city in the shortest possible time.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

As the hon. Member knows, I am looking carefully into this matter and I will write to him as soon as my inquiries are completed.
