Fuel Policy
Sir,—One of tine chief reasons advanced for the retention of the gas industry is its use of indigenous fuel. It is therefore surprising to read that Dunedin is permitted to import a gasification plant for light distillate, an imported fuel. Also surprising is the admission by the Minister of Customs that the tsite of a licence was a mistake. Mntt su"prisng is that fuel policy can be determined by customs Only a Ministry of Fuel and rower is really competent to determine national fuel economics, but in the absence of such a Ministry, was the Gas Council consulted? Or is this body so emasculated as to be incapable of playing a virile part in shaping a rational fuel policy?—Yours, •re., J. S. POLLARD. August 26. 1963
