§ 39. Mr. GEORGE THORNEasked whether retailers of coal will be entitled to charge the 6s. per ton increased price 1547 from the 21st instant upon stocks accumulated in yards, premises, and railway sidings before that date?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODIt is not practicable to discriminate between deliveries from wagon and from stocks, but this will also be the case if and when a reduction of colliery prices takes place.
Mr. J. JONESIs the hon. Gentleman aware of the extra halfpenny a bag on coal over and above the previous price?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODThe answer I have given already covers the supplemental question.
§ Sir H. GREENWOODI will do my best, I can assure you.
