§ 15. Mr. Lewisasked the Secretary for Mines what protests he has received from representatives of different classes of coal consumers with regard to their treatment under the coal-selling schemes at present in operation?
§ Captain CrookshankI have received a number of complaints in general terms from bodies representative of organised consumers of coal, but have advised in every suitable case that the independent machinery set up by Parliament for the purpose of investigating complaints caused by the operation of the schemes should be invoked. Those complaints not within the competency of that machinery are being given careful consideration by the Government in connection with Part III of the Coal Bill.
