§ 2. Brigadier - General Sir OWEN THOMASasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the 2 dissatisfaction which now exists with regard to the distribution of coal in the North Wales area, it would be possible to provide for representation of the consumers' interests on the District Coal and Coke Supplies Committee at Wrexham, seeing that at present constituted the entire body, with one exception, is interested in collieries, and that the addition of one consumer from each county in the area would be a satisfaction to the whole community?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Bridgeman)In view of the decontrol of the inland distribution of coal, the District Coal and Coke Supplies Committee—including the committee for North Wales—have been re-constituted to cover the representation of coalowners, coal factors, coal merchants, and consumers. As the committees are executive bodies, it is not considered desirable to increase their membership.
