50. Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works whether, in considering the choice between coal and oil for the heating of public buildings in accordance with the principles which he has laid down, he assesses the difference in cost of those two fuels by reference to the cost of oil excluding the revenue duty or including it.

Revenue duty is included in the cost of oil when the difference in cost between oil and coal is assessed.
