HC Deb 10 November 1919 vol 121 c75W
CAPTAIN BOWYER

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, with reference to the weekly report of the output of coal, he will state the basis upon which the published figures are calculated, that is to say, whether they represent the quantity of coal hewn, or the quantity of coal actually raised, or the quantity loaded into trucks and dispatched from the pits?

Sir A. GEDDES

The published weekly figures of output of coal represent the quantity actually raised.
