Mr. Dribergasked the Minister of Power if he is aware that a household, at an address of which he has been informed, in a smokeless zone in Barking, Essex, was without solid fuel of any kind on 20th February, 1964, although a supply of Coalite had been ordered more than six weeks earlier and the fuel merchant reminded repeatedly 81W of the order; and what steps he is taking to ensure that adequate supplies of the appropriate kinds of fuel are always available for people living in these zones.
§ Mr. ErrollCoalite is a proprietary fuel whose production and distribution are a matter for the manufacturers. I am not aware of any general shortage of smokeless fuels in this area.
