HC Deb 04 October 1944 vol 403 c936
55. Mr. Thomas Fraser

asked the Minister of Production if, in view of the reduction in the consumption of steel in other fields of war industry, he can now authorise an increase in the quota allowed to the mining industry.

Mr. Lyttelton

I am assured by my right hon. Friend the Minster of Fuel and Power that the allocations of steel to the coal mining industry, which have recently been increased, should prove adequate to the needs of the industry.
