Sir W. Smithers
asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will increase the allocation of boiler fuels in the Orpington area.
Mr. Shinwell
There is a general shortage of boiler fuel but I am advised that the position in Orpington is no worse than elsewhere in the region. I regret that I can give no guarantee of any immediate increase in supplies.
