HC Deb 22 March 1901 vol 91 cc859-60
MR. STRACHEY (Somersetshire, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he will state how much of the £2,161 5s. 10d., stated in the Duchy of Cornwall Return for the year 1900 to have been received from royalty on coal raised in Somerset, was received from the lessees of the Farrington Gurney Colliery and how much from the lessees of the Clandown Colliery.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

I have no information beyond that contained in the Parliamentary Return.

MR. STRACHEY

Does the hon. Gentleman mean he is unwilling or unable to furnish the information?

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

I have no information, except that contained in the Parliamentary Return, and I do not think it reasonable to call for the detailed information.
