HC Deb 15 July 1919 vol 118 c203
46. Mr. HOLMES

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government have come to a decision concerning the payment of royalties on the oil discovered in Derbyshire?

The DEPUTY-MINISTER of MUNITIONS (Mr. Kellaway)

I can add nothing to the answer which I gave on the 8th instant, when I said: The Government have this matter under consideration, and an announcement of their decision will be made as soon as possible.
