§ Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the Welford Brick Company, Limited, Welford, near Nottingham, are handicapped, both in making bricks and in providing employment, by the refusal of the Coal Controller to allow them the proper quality of coal; and whether, in view of the urgent need of bricks for building purposes and of diminishing unemployment, he will take steps to secure to these manufacturers an adequate supply of coal suitable for brick burning?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThere is no trace in the Coal Mines Department of any complaint from the Welford Brick Company, Limited, near Nottingham, as to the quality of coal which has been supplied, but upon receipt of full particulars the case will be specially investigated by one of the technical experts attached to that Department.
