HC Deb 01 October 1931 vol 257 c550W
Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he is aware that certain potteries in North Staffordshire have had to close down by reason of the limitation of the output from the Wolstanton colliery; and whether steps can be taken to make the normal supplies of coal available locally?

Mr. FOOT

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to my reply to a similar question by him on the 23rd September, to which, as the Committee of Investigation has not completed its inquiry, I cannot at present add anything.
