HC Deb 02 December 1941 vol 376 cc989-90
22. Mr. Burke

asked the Secretary for Mines what was the output of coal in Lancashire coalfields during September, 1940, and September, 1941?

Mr. Grenfell

It would not be in the public interest to provide the figures required, but I will send them to the hon. Member for his own information confidentially.

Mr. Burke

Can the hon. Gentleman say whether there has been an increase in the two periods?

Mr. Grenfell

No, there has been no increase in Lancashire.
