HC Deb 10 March 1938 vol 332 cc2102-3
45. Miss Ward

asked the Prime Minister whether he has yet come to a decision with regard to the appointment of a committee to investigate the differences between the ascertained pit-head prices and the prices charged to the general domestic consumer?

The Prime Minister (Mr. Chamberlain)

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on Tuesday last in reply to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Colchester (Mr. Lewis).

Miss Ward

I apologise for not having heard the answer. May I ask what the answer was?

The Prime Minister

I referred my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to a similar question on Tuesday last.

Mr. Attlee

Can the Prime Minister say when he expects the President of the Board of Trade to be back in the House?

The Prime Minister

I think my right hon. Friend hopes to be back on Monday, but I am not sure.

Miss Ward

Can the Prime Minister say when I may expect an answer from him?

The Prime Minister

If my hon. Friend will be good enough to look at the answer to which I have referred she will see what the difficulty is.
