HC Deb 16 July 1969 vol 787 c136W
Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Minister of Power whether it remains the Government's policy to maintain the preference for solid fuel over oil in public buildings as announced by his predecessor in April, 1965; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mason

Yes. The Government are convinced that the 5 per cent. preference accorded to solid fuel over oil in public buildings announced in the House on 12th April, 1965, still has a useful rôle to play and should be continued.
