HC Deb 17 February 1915 vol 69 c1140
39. Mr. DUNCAN MILLAR

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps have been taken to secure an adequate supply of pit-props for use in the coal mines, looking to the recent shortage of such materials?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I would refer the hon. Member to the Reports presented to Parliament last December respecting the supply of imported pit timber and supplies of home grown pit wood, which give the information he desires.
