HC Deb 29 May 1945 vol 411 cc2-3
1. Sir Frank Sanderson

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is aware of the concern among the general public regarding the coal situation; and whether he is considering the complete overhaul of the coal industry at the earliest opportunity with a view to allaying these misgivings and producing the necessary volume of coal.

The Minister of Fuel and Power (Major Lloyd George)

Yes, Sir.

Sir F. Sanderson

Does my right hon. and gallant Friend consider that the reduction in their small meat ration has caused the physical fitness of the miners to be less than it was four years ago, and will he consider this and all relevant matters with a view to allaying the serious misgivings which are felt in all parts of the country?
