§ 58. Mr. CHARLES EDWARDSasked the Secretary for Mines if he is aware that in a large number of collieries the large coal only is paid for: whether this or the gross production is taken into account when apportioning or ascertaining the output per man: and whether this is spread over the whole of the workmen and staff which comes into the cost of production under the agreement now in operation?
§ The SECRETARY for MINES (Colonel Lane-Fox)The way in which the calculation of output per man shift is made was explained in the reply that I gave on the 7th July to a question by the hon. Member for Hemsworth (Mr. J. Guest).
