HC Deb 14 July 1919 vol 118 c71W
Mr. G. LLOYD

asked the Minister of Labour at what price or other terms miners are allowed to have coals for themselves and their families; and are the miners allowed any other perquisites or privileges not enjoyed by the general public?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I have been asked to answer this question. With regard to the supply of coal to miners, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to-day to the hon. Member for Kensington, South. With regard to the second part of the question, in certain parts of this country, such, for instance, as Northumberland and Durham, miners are provided with houses rent free.
