HC Deb 22 March 1920 vol 127 c66W
Mr. TAYLOR

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether there is a serious shortage in the coal supplies to Dumbarton, and that even the short supplies are of a very inferior quality; and will he have inquiries made and stops taken to improve the supply and quality?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN
