tory booklets for householders in proposed smoke control areas. In
the latter connection, the Council's own booklet has been kept upto-date
and incorporates the answers to the questions listed.
The revised grant arrangements are stated to be necessary,
mainly to take account of new appliances, increases in cost and
developments in the testing of electric storage heaters. The new cost
limits of appliances, requested to be used for financial estimates
accompanying submissions of smoke control orders made subsequent
to the date of the Circular, were adopted by the Council.
In addition, the Circular gives advice on the assessment of
grant for the installation of oil-fired central heating and oil-burning
appliances and "package deals" in which the supply and installation
of two or more appliances are offered for an all-in price by some
Electricity and Gas Boards.
Letter dated 28th July, 1966-Grant Provisions-Gas Coke Supplies
This letter states the Department has been advised that Gas
Boards producing gas coke for Greater London are no longer able
to give local authorities assurances of supplies of this fuel for future
smoke control orders, although those given for Orders already made
will continue to be honoured. Smoke control orders, therefore,
should no longer be based on the assumption that the demand for
open fire solid fuel can be met wholly by gas coke.
