HC Deb 17 November 1927 vol 210 c1117
46. Mr. WHITELEY

asked the Prime Minister whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce legislation to give effect to the Royal Commission's Report on mining subsidence?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Report is being considered by the Government Departments concerned.

Mr. PALING

Does that mean that legislation is going to be put upon the Statute Book?

The PRIME MINISTER

I cannot answer that question until the Report has been received and examined; but in any case it is obvious that there can be no legislation this side of Christmas.
