§ The SECRETARY for MINES (Mr. Ernest Brown)I have asked the central council and the district executive boards to furnish me, as soon as possible, with detailed information on the first quarter's working of the amended schemes in force under the Coal Mines Act, 1930. I will then consider the publication of a report based on the information I receive.
