HC Deb 13 December 1926 vol 200 c2552
46. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government has yet nominated the Standing Joint Committee of the Ministries of Transport and of Mines which the Coal Commission recommended should be established for the purpose of reviewing the question of mineral transport and its present high costs?

The PRIME MINISTER

The appointment of the Committee referred to by my Noble Friend has been delayed by the coal dispute, but I hope that it will be possible to set it up very early in the New Year.
