Domestic Coal Supplies

Mr. Granville
asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he is aware that coal is in short supply in the Saxmundham district of Suffolk; and if he will take steps to remedy this.

Mr. Gaitskell
Merchants' stocks are low, as is normal at this time of year, but supplies have been well maintained and I am not aware of any special difficulty in this area. If the hon. Member will send me particulars of any case of difficulty within his knowledge, I will have further inquiries made.
