During the year 35 grants of 100% were paid to persons in receipt of
supplementary pensions and whose applications were supported by the
Ministry of Social Security.
The number of contraventions of Smoke Control Orders is very small
and informal action in dealing with these is all that is necessary. Constant
checks are made to ensure that no one is flagrantly disregarding
the law. In the same way, strict supervision is kept on the delivery of
coal to Smoke Control Areas which is now an offence under the Clean
Air Act, 1968. Warning letters have been sent to two coal merchants on
this matter in the past year.
