HC Deb 25 October 1920 vol 133 c1306
8. Major-General Sir N. MOORE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the statements made that owners are working narrow and more difficult seams until control is abolished, the Government will take steps to obtain more definite information in regard to the localities referred to with a view to instructing the departmental inspectors of the Mines Department to report as to the accuracy or otherwise of these statements?

The SECRETARY for MINES (Mr. Bridgeman)

I still hope for the establishment of machinery within the industry for dealing with questions of this kind as soon as the present dispute is ended.
