HC Deb 26 April 1917 vol 92 cc2592-3W
Sir F. FLANNERY

asked the Prime-Minister whether it is the intention of the Government to appoint a Select Committee or other means of inquiry into the consumption of raw coal during war-time, and the consequent waste of by-products required for national service, with a view to formulating such restrictions as will increase the quantity of explosives and dyes urgently required for national service?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The general question of economy in the consumption of fuel of all kinds has been entrusted by the Government to the Fuel Research Board, under the direction of Sir George Beilby.
