HC Deb 29 July 1941 vol 373 cc1226-7
2. Mr. T. Smith

asked the Secretary for Mines whether any additional money is to be made available for the provision of canteens at the various collieries?

Mr. Grenfell

I would refer my hon. Friend to the statement I made on this subject in the House last Thursday. The matter is being pressed, and the necessary legal amendments are being undertaken as soon as possible.

Mr. Smith

Is it intended to get this money? Will my hon. Friend see to this matter and do his best to get the money as quickly as possible?

Mr. Grenfell

I rely very largely upon the committee, the chairman of which is a Member of this House. I am sure the committee is keen to do what it can, and it has the full confidence of my Department.

Mr. Smith

Will the money have to be found by this House?

Mr. Grenfell

It will not.
