HC Deb 23 May 1939 vol 347 c2062
6. Mr. A. Jenkins

asked the Secretary for Mines whether there is at present any delay in supplying coal in accordance with contracts entered into, both in the home and foreign markets; and, if so what steps does he propose to take to meet the requirements of the markets?

Mr. Lloyd

I have made inquiry, and I am unable to find evidence of any general delay in supplying coal under contracts to our markets at home or abroad.
