15. Mr. W. Shepherd

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power the average amount of coal allowed per week to miners and the prices paid by them.

Mr. Shinwell

On the average, 3½ cwt. of coal per miner per week are supplied to those miners entitled to receive either free or concessionary coal. Of the total quantity supplied, about 58 per cent. was at reduced prices, the average price in 1945 being 8s. per ton.
