HC Deb 28 March 1963 vol 674 c169W
1. Mr. Iremonger

asked the Minister of Power if he will make a statement on smokeless fuel supplies in the smokeless zone in Ilford.

Mr. Peyton

During the recent exceptional weather there were delays in fuel deliveries in Ilford, as elsewhere, but supplies of Gloco were maintained at a high level. I understand from the North Thames Gas Board that deliveries are now normal.

Mr. Delargy

asked the Minister of Power whether he is satisfied that sufficient stocks of smokeless fuel will be available in the Kenningtons district of Thurrock when that district becomes a smokeless zone; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peyton

Potential suppliers of smokeless fuels to this district have been made aware of the new demand expected there. It will be for them and the local merchants and consumers to ensure that sufficient stocks are available.
