§ Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Secretary for Mines whether his attention has been called to the fact that British collieries have secured contracts from the Belgian railways for 300,000 tons of coal; and if these contracts were in any way subsidised by increased prices in this country?
§ Mr. TURNERI have seen references in the Press to these contracts, but I have no official information of their terms.
