HC Deb 28 November 1955 vol 546 c157W
15. Mr. Lewis

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he is aware that many old-age pensioners are unable to purchase coal; and whether he will introduce a system of coal supplies at a cheaper rate to old-age pensioners on production of their pension books.

Mr. Joynson-Hicks

No. It is not the intention of the Government to extend benefits in kind.
