HC Deb 23 November 1916 vol 87 c1575
66. Mr. PARTINGTON

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many prosecutions have taken place under the Coal Prices Restriction Act?

Mr. PRETYMAN

I have not heard of any prosecution under the Price of Coal (Limitation) Act. Questions that have arisen have so far been settled without legal proceedings usually by the Board of Trade or the District Coal and Coke Supplies Committees.
