HC Deb 04 April 1898 vol 56 c53
MR. R. MCKENNA (Monmouth, N.)

On behalf of the hon. Member for Merthyr Tydyil, I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will grant the Return which stands on to-day's Notice Paper relating to the Foreign Export of Coal, and if, before printing the Return, he will consult some practical coal exporter as to the best form of presenting the particulars to the House?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE

I shall be prepared to grant the Return desired by the hon. Member; but it must, of course, be prepared and laid according to the form of Motion. If the hon. Member desires any modification from the form in which it was presented last year, and will call at the offices of the Board of Trade, I will endeavour to meet his wishes as far as possible.
