§ 39. Mr. KELLYasked the Secretary for Mines whether he has received Reports as to the difficulty of securing the working rights for minerals in the tin-mining area of Cornwall; and, if so, will he take steps to facilitate matters so that those who are willing to work the minerals may have the opportunity?
§ Commodore KINGNo, Sir. No such cases have been reported to my Department. If there are any I suggest that the interested parties should consider the terms of the Mines (Working Facilities and Support) Act, 1923.
§ Mr. KELLYDo I understand that, if cases are brought to his notice, the hon. and gallant Gentleman will go into them?
§ Commodore KINGI will make inquiries, but I think the hon. Member will find that there are already powers under that Act.
