§ 11. Colonel ENGLAND (for Sir W. EDGE)asked the Secretary for Mines if he can make any statement on the employment this year to date of the Miners' Welfare Fund; and how much money remains in hand?
§ Mr. TURNERThe activities of the Miners' Welfare Committee are too numerous for me to state them within the limits of a reply to a Parliamentary question. The Committee publish Annuals Reports which contain a full account of their activities in past years, and their administration of the Fund during the present year has proceeded consistently in accordance with the principles described in the Reports. A Report on their work in 1929 will be published shortly after the end of the year. The money in hand on 1st October, 1929, was £2,421,979, of which the amount not definitely earmarked for particular purposes was £933,297.
