§ MR. C. B. M'LARENasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he can state, from the Returns furnished to the Home Office, the separate output of coal during the year 1884 in the different districts of 423 England, in Wales, and in Scotland; and, by how much the total output of 1884 falls short of the output of 1883?
§ SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT,in reply, said, it would be inconvenient to give the information asked for in reply to a Question; but the details could be obtained by his hon. Friend from the Home Office. The falling-off in 1884, as compared with 1883, was 3,619,000 tons.
