HC Deb 06 February 1970 vol 795 c225W
Mr. Garrett

asked the Minister of Technology if, in view of the number of accidents and complaints, he will direct the Gas Council to slow up the conversion of commercial and domestic appliances to make them suitable for use with natural gas, so as to ensure a safe and trouble-free service to the public.

Mr. Alan Williams

There are no plans to slow down the overall rate of conversion. As to accidents, my right hon. Friend is awaiting the information to which he referred in replies on 26th January to the hon. Members for Heywood and Royton (Mr. Barnett) and Warwick and Leamington (Mr. Dudley Smith).—[Vol. 794, c. 236.]
