HC Deb 04 December 1919 vol 122 c634W
Mr. A. HERBERT

asked the President of the Board of Trade if there has been a grave error in the Coal Controller's calculation at some time; and, if so, when?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

I know of no. grave error in the calculations of the Coal Controller. I would remind my hon. Friend, however, that an investigation is being undertaken by a firm of independent accountants, Messrs. Alfred Tongue and Company, whose report will, in due course, be laid before the House.
