HC Deb 04 June 1940 vol 361 c761
26. Mr. Dunn

asked the Secretary for, Mines how many more men are employed in the mines of the country since the outbreak of the war; and what increase in production has taken place in the last nine months, compared with the first nine months of 1939?

Mr. Grenfell

It is not in the public interest to publish the figures. They are, however, supplied confidentially to the Mining Association and to the Mine-workers' Federation of Great Britain.

Mr. G. Griffiths

Are they up or down?

Mr. Grenfell

They are up.
