57. Sir G. Sinclair

asked the Minister of Technology if, in view of the expected shortage of solid smokeless fuel in the South-East in the winter of 1970–71, he will ensure that the Gas Council, in the review being carried out at his instigation, phases over a longer period its closure of the Portslade and Dover gas works.
