§ MR. D. A. THOMAS (Merthyr Tydvil)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can state when the results of the investigation by the Geological Survey at South Kensington will be made known, and whether the delay in the appointment of the Commission on Coal is attributable to the intention of the Government to await the result of that investigation before deciding that any public object is to be gained by an inquiry.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI must ask that this question be addressed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has taken charge of this matter. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will put it down for Monday.
