HC Deb 01 February 1934 vol 285 cc566-7W
Mr. MITCHESON

asked the Secretary for Mines the railway rates per ton of coal from any important mining centre in Poland to Gdynia and how this compares with the rates in the United Kingdom for an equal distance?

Mr. E. BROWN

The railway rate per ton of coal from Kattowitz to Gdynia is 3s. for a distance of 340 miles. I cannot give a comparable figure for this country since no rail traffic in coal passes over such a long distance.
