§ 66. Mr. Whiteasked the Secretary for Mines whether he has received any report from the committee which is considering the possibility of obtaining an increased use of coal for bunkering purposes and other cognate matters?
§ Captain CrookshankNo, Sir.
§ Mr. WhiteCan the hon. and gallant Gentleman say when we may expect to receive this report, and what possibility there is of action on it in view of the fact that the existing conditions are very unsatisfactory and a considerable volume of trade is lost?
§ Captain CrookshankI think they are investigating the matter with all possible dispatch. It is a very complicated and technical subject.
