I propose to take Questions Nos. 3 and 47 together.
The introduction of standards is a matter for the Minister for Industry and Commerce. I understand that preparation of a standard for smokeless fuels is under consideration, but that it would take some time and resources to develop.
I hope that as people become more used to using these fuels much of the difficulty which has arisen will disappear. EOLAS will of course continue to give advice on the use of fuels. Earlier this week the Solid Fuel Advisory Confederation produced a booklet entitled the Solid Fuel Heating Directory 1991, the aim of which is to provide information about the wide variety of solid fuels and appliances on the market.
