HC Deb 26 May 1972 vol 837 c538W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will issue general directions to the gas boards instructing them that when their representatives call on householders to advise them as to whether they need to replace their existing gas appliances in order to prepare for North Sea gas, these representatives shall not also act as salesmen for gas appliances.

Mr. Emery

No. Arrangements for the survey and sale of appliances before conversion are matters for the area gas boards.
