§ 16. Miss Wilkinsonasked the Secretary for Mines why the balloon barrage and other units on Tyneside are receiving their coal supplies from Birmingham?
§ Mr. LloydI can find no evidence that coal for these units is drawn from other than local sources.
§ Miss WilkinsonIs the hon. Member aware that responsible constituents of mine have given me information to the contrary—that these units are receiving their supplies from Birmingham?
§ Mr. LloydI have made inquiries of the divisional officer, and also I have asked the Air Ministry to make inquiries of their balloon barrage units. That is all I have been able to do; but if the hon. Lady will give me further particulars, I will look into them.
