63. Sir F. HALLasked the Prime Minister if the Government intend to introduce legislation with the object of further increasing national control of the coal mines, beyond the partial control now in force; and, if so, will he state when such legislation will be introduced, and whether as a result private ownership of the coal mines will be abolished?
§ THE PRIME MINISTERI have nothing to add to what I said on this subject on the 18th August last.
