§ 6. Sir Leonard Lyleasked the Minister of Fuel and Power the weekly output of coal at the Point of Ayr Colliery since it was taken over by the Government and the corresponding output in the equivalent number of weeks before the colliery was taken over?
Major Lloyd GeorgeI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to the hon. Member for Newport (Sir R. Clarry) on 10th June. As stated on that occasion, I am precluded from publishing figures relating to individual undertakings. I am happy, however, to inform my hon. Friend that output at the Point of Ayr Colliery in the 18 weeks since the imposition of control was considerably above that in the previous 18 weeks.
§ Mr. George GriffithsIs it not a fact that the men at Point of Ayr Colliery feel they are freer than ever they have been since the pit was sunk?
