HC Deb 03 December 1956 vol 561 c87W
31. Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he will give figures to show the extent to which coal traffic is being switched to rail or canal in order to save petrol in road transport.

Mr. Aubrey Jones

Detailed figures are not yet available, but I am informed that a useful beginning has been made in switching coal traffic from road to rail wherever practicable.
