§ 7. Major KELLEYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether all Government orders for foreign coal are to be cancelled immediately British miners decide to return to work; and, if not, will the coal be sold in this country or diverted elsewhere?
§ The SECRETARY for MINES (Mr. Bridgeman)Orders which have been definitely placed cannot be cancelled. Such of the Government coal, if any, as remains unsold, after the resumption of work in the mines, will be disposed of in this country or elsewhere to the best advantage in the circumstances.
