§ 53. Mr. G. NICHOLSONasked the Secretary for Mines whether his attention has been called to the continued evasion of the minimum prices for coal; and whether he will take an early opportunity of stating the Government's policy in connection therewith?
§ Mr. E. BROWNThe attention of the Central Council of Coalowners appointed under the Coal Mines Act, 1930, has again been called to evasions of the minimum price provisions of the Schemes, and I understand that the Council and the District Executive Boards have the matter under active consideration.
§ Mr. NICHOLSONMay I have an answer to the second part of my question?
§ Mr. BROWNI have already said that I think it would be unwise to make any statement until I have seen the report.
