HC Deb 22 January 1959 vol 598 c53W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Paymaster-General whether he will give an indication as to when supplies of Coalite will be available in the desired quantities for purchase by consumers, in view of his policy of authorising the setting up of increasing numbers of smokeless zones.

Sir I. Horobin

The supply of Coalite is a matter for the makers, Coalite and Chemical Products Limited, who are doing their best to meet demands for their products. Coalite is not, of course, the only solid smokeless fuel and there is no shortage of such fuels in general to meet the requirements of smoke control areas.
