§ Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Power if he is aware that people living in clean air zones in Bristol were short of smokeless fuel last year and thus burned ordinary coal which made them liable to prosecution; and what steps are now being taken to prevent a recurrence of this during the coming winter.
§ Mr. PeytonYes. Interruption in local deliveries was caused by the exceptional weather and not by shortage of coke30W stocks. My right hon. Friend has discussed with the Gas Council the lessons to be learnt from the experience of last winter.
