HC Deb 13 May 1924 vol 173 c1165W
Mr. BARKER

asked the Secretary for Mines the amount paid to royalty owners in Monmouthshire for coal mined in 1923?

Mr. SHINWELL

I cannot give the exact figure for Monmouthshire apart from South Wales; but it is estimated that the amount of royalties payable was between £510,000 and £550,000.
