HC Deb 13 May 1941 vol 371 c1065
23. Mr. T. Smith

asked the Secretary for Mines, what progress is being made in the provision of canteen facilities at mines in the various districts?

The Secretary for Mines (Mr. David Grenfell)

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Ince (Mr. G. Macdonald) on 26th March. Efforts are being made, in conjunction with the Miners' Welfare Commission and the mine managements, to provide further canteen accommodation at the pits.

Mr. Smith

Will that include mobile canteens, because some mines have not a suitable room for this purpose?

Mr. Grenfell

I think it must.
