§ 32. Mr. Keelingasked the Minister of Fuel and Power what is the total estimated tonnage represented by the domestic coal allowance of four cwts. per month in the southern counties and five cwts. in the northern counties.
Major Lloyd GeorgeIf all controlled premises took exactly the quantities named in the Question, the tonnage would be roughly three million tons per month.
§ Mr. KeelingDoes the Minister agree that it will be difficult to maintain even this modest allowance to households, unless strikes are reduced and output increased?
§ Mr. ThorneI take it for granted that no distinction is made between good and bad coal? Is the Minister aware that much of the coal I have had is absolutely useless?
