§ 31. Mr. Gordon Macdonaldasked the Secretary for Mines if he is satisfied that the colliery wagon and boxes repair shops are in a position to deal effectively with the present wagon shortage; and what action he proposes taking to remove this difficulty?
§ The Secretary for Mines (Mr. David Grenfell)The repair of wagons used for the conveyance of coal by the railways is a matter for my noble Friend the Minister of War Transport, but so far as wagons or boxes for internal use at collieries are concerned, I am not aware of any cases where the colliery repair shops have been unable to meet their essential needs.
