§ 47. Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the President of the Board of Trade what action he intends taking to prevent the water content in solid fuels from adding unreasonably to the cost of such fuels; if he will take proceedings against dealers who either by design or neglect allow a high water content to be present in their deliveries; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyThe practicability of controlling the moisture content of smokeless fuels is being examined by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Power; if it appears that the use of Board of Trade powers might assist, we shall consider it. Proceedings under the existing law are a matter for local weights and measures authorities.
