HC Deb 12 May 1936 vol 312 c194
31. Mr. DAY

asked the Secretary for Mines the total amount paid in royalties on coal raised in Great Britain for the 12 months ended to the last convenient date?

The SECRETARY for MINES (Captain Crookshank)

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Abertillery (Mr. Daggar) on 31st March.

Mr. DAY

Do the figures to which the right hon. Gentleman has referred me include the working of freehold minerals by owners and proprietors?

Captain CROOKSHANK

I think the hon. Member had better look at the figures.
