28. Mr. David Adams

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he can now make a statement relative to the position of the coal trade generally; and with particular reference to the export areas of the coalfields?

The Secretary for Mines (Mr. David Grenfell)

I hope, if time permits, and if it is the wish of the House, to make a statement on the lines suggested on the Motion for the Adjournment to-day.
