HC Deb 01 May 1934 vol 289 c124
5. Mr. G. HALL

asked the Secretary for Mines the amount of coal used by steam road vehicles for each of the last three years?

Mr. E. BROWN

I regret that I am not in a position to give the desired information as official statistics are not available, but it has been estimated that the annual consumption is nearly 1,000,000 tons.
