HC Deb 10 December 1931 vol 260 cc2093-4W
Mr. D. GRAHAM

asked the Secretary for Mines the output of coal in the counties of Lanark, Ayr, Fife, Stirling, Mid, East, and West Lothian for each month in 1931, with the output for the corresponding months of 1930; the number of men employed in each of the above counties during the same period, with the amount of quota allocated to each county; whether any of the counties have exceeded or failed to produce their quota; and, if so, will he name the counties?

Mr. ISAAC FOOT

I am sending the hon. Member a statement of the output for these counties. As the allocation is made to Scotland as one district under the Coal Mines Act, and not in respect of the separate parts of that district, I am unable to give the information asked for in the latter part of the question.
