HC Deb 16 February 1972 vol 831 c120W
110. Mr. Sheldon

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make arrangements to allow shopkeepers whose only form of heating for their shops is by electricity to use it for a limited period each day where it is necessary to conserve the quality of their stock.

Mr. Ridley

No. In the present grave circumstances, I doubt whether this would be appropriate but I should like to know the type of stock the hon. Member has in mind.
