§ 31. Sir Herbert Williamsasked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether the average increase of 3s. per ton in the price of coal recently authorised by him is intended to be an average over the output 16 of each colliery or an average over the output of the whole industry.
§ Sir H. Williams. That may have the effect that some collieries will be very adversely affected and some will do very well?
Major Lloyd GeorģeI think my hon. Friend will find that the increases were based on the position which obtained in those collieries, and were made in agreement with them.
