§ 1. Mr. Daggarasked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he is now in a position to state the results of the consultations between his Department and the other Departments concerned regarding the damage due to subsidence; and when he expects to be in a position to deal with this problem.
§ The Minister of Fuel and Power (Major Lloyd George)Considerable progress is being made in the consultations with other Departments interested in housing, planning and the location of industry. Such consultations are designed to provide information with a view to the avoidance in future of damage from mining subsidence, but the problem is a complicated one which can hardly be dealt with within the limits of Question and Answer.
§ Mr. DaggarWill the Minister be able to give me any satisfaction if I give notice to raise the matter on the Motion for the Adjournment?
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeI think the hon. Member raised it on the Adjournment in the last week or so.
§ Mr. DaggarIs the Minister aware that his Parliamentary Secretary exceeded the time and that I got no reply to my question?
