HC Deb 22 February 1922 vol 150 c1933W
Mr. GRUNDY

asked the Secretary for Mines whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Committee on National Expenditure assumes that parts of the Mining Industry Act, 1920, are inapplicable or inoperative; and whether he will ask the Committee to present the evidence upon which this view is based?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I have read the Report of the Committee on National Expenditure on the Mines Department; I do not think that it falls within my province to ask them to present the evidence upon which their views are based.
