28 Mr. Garland asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will extend the free scheme for the elderly to include smokeless solid fuel; his views on whether this would make economic sense; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that, for example, if a direct substitution of the equivalent value of 1500 kilowatt hours of electricity is made by peat briquettes, the peat briquettes will weigh over a tonne and contain 6000 kilowatt hours of potential heat; his views on whether this would be beneficial to the elderly to have this type of choice; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
