§ Mr. DENNIS0Nasked the Secretary for Mines the total tonnage of reparation 1156W coal supplied under the provisions of the Versailles Treaty to Belgium and France, respectively; and what is the average price per ton the Governments of these countries receive for the reparation coal?

These tonnages include deliveries under Annex 5 of Part VIII of the Treaty of Versailles and deliveries effected under the system of commercial contracts provided by the London Agreement of August, 1924. I have no information to show the amounts paid to the Governments of these countries by their nationals in respect of these deliveries.
