§ 19. Mr. DAYasked the Secretary for Mines the output per man-shift worked in the coal-mining industry of Great Britain during the 12 months ended November, 1921, and for the comparable period ended in 1935?
§ Captain CROOKSHANKFigures are only available on a quarterly basis and, owing to the stoppage in 1921, particulars for that year are only available in respect of the March and December quarters when the output of coal per man-shift worked was 14.46 cwts. and 17.73 cwts. respectively. The corresponding figures for the March and December quarters of 1935 were 23.40 and 23.89 cwts.
§ Mr. DAYDoes that include all the people employed in the industry? Does it include managers and clerks?
§ Captain CROOKSHANKThat is a suitable question to put down.
