HC Deb 23 May 1933 vol 278 cc906-7
11. Mr. ROBINSON

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he has now considered the communication from the Central Council of Coalowners with regard to the separate allocation of inland and export quotas and the co-ordination of minimim prices; and whether he is in a position to state what legislation will be proposed to the House for the amendment of Part I of the Coal Mines Act?

The SECRETARY for MINES (Mr. Ernest Brown)

As I informed my hon. Friend on 16th May, I must defer any statement as to legislation until I have seen the exact form of the representations by the Central Council. I have not yet received those representations.

Mr. SMITHERS

When does the hon. Member expect to receive them?

Mr. BROWN

Very shortly.
