HC Deb 27 July 1915 vol 73 c2152W
Mr. STUART-WORTLEY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in devising the promised Amendment to the Price of Coal (Limitation) Bill, he will consider the case of industrial co-operative societies who have contracted for the purchase of coal without the intervention of the merchant, with a view to its sale to working people on the principle of restricted profits?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

As the subject is now under the consideration of the House, I hope to deal with this and other similar proposals before the Report stage is over.
