§ Mr. D. GRENFELLasked the Secretary for Mines if he will authorise a Report, on similar lines to the Report issued by the United States Bureau of Mines, which shows the advance on mechanical haulage, so as to show the position on the several British coalfields?
§ Commodore KINGFigures are published in the Annual Report of my Department showing for each coalfield the proportion of mines at which horses are employed, the number of horses employed, the amount of electricity used for haulage and the number of conveyers in use. I hope this information will be sufficient for the hon. Member's purpose, but if not, and he will tell me precisely what additional information he would like to have, I will consider the matter further.
