HC Deb 04 March 1930 vol 236 c233
25. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he can state the coal area which will supply the 40,000 tons of coal which are to be shipped to Canada; and from what ports in Great Britain the shipment is to be made?

Mr. THOMAS

I am not yet in a position to make a statement.

Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when he will be able to make a statement?

Mr. THOMAS

I am quite sure the hon. Member will appreciate that these matters must be determined by the particular firms. I was concerned in getting orders for this country, and I was quite impartial as to where the coal came from.
