HC Deb 25 February 1924 vol 170 c75W
Mr. TURNER-SAMUELS

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the recurrent upheavals in the mining industry, he will consider the question of bringing the whole of the coalfields under national control?

The PRIME MINISTER

My hon. and learned Friend will understand that it is impossible for me at the moment to make any definite statement on this subject, but I am sure that he requires no assurance from me that his suggestion has my sympathy.
