§ 62. Mr. W. Shepherdasked the Minister of Fuel and Power what increase in the cost of coal he anticipates will arise as a result of the five-day week.
§ Mr. ShinwellSo far the National Coal Board have made no proposals for increasing prices in consequence of the five-day week. However, if all the coal which is at present produced on a Saturday morning were lost, costs would go up. Everything depends on how soon and how much the output per man-year improves.
