HC Deb 18 December 1970 vol 808 c521W
Mr. Thorpe

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on the latest position with regard to smokeless fuel supply.

Sir J. Eden

I hope that as the result of the Government's decision to remove restrictions on imports of solid fuel, some additional supplies will be available. Otherwise, I have nothing to add to the replies given to my hon. and learned Friend the Member for South Fylde (Mr. Gardner) on 22nd July and to my hon. Friend the Member for Blackpool, South (Mr. Blaker) on 30th November.
