§ 68. Major Stourtonasked the Minister of Fuel and Power how much coal has been exported to Italy and Sicily since the Allied invasion, to the nearest convenient date?
Major Lloyd GeorgeI would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer which I gave to a similar Question by my 1396 hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Penryn and Falmouth (Major Petherick on 12th October.
§ Major StourtonTo what extent do Italians in the occupied territory depend on British sources of supply; and how does their coal ration compare with ours in this country?
Major Lloyd GeorgeAll I can say is that the overwhelmingly greater part of the coal sent to these territories is used for operational purposes. I do not think that my hon. and gallant Friend would compare the standards in this country with those in occupied territories.
