§ Lieut.-Colonel HURSTasked the Secretary for Mines, whether he is aware that, under directions issued by his Department on the 8th November, coal for foreign-going vessels in Lancashire ports can only be brought by sea from South Wales, whereas Glasgow and Hull can use local coal; and whether he has considered the representations made by the Manchester and Liverpool steamship Owners' Association as to supplying bunker coal to those ports from pits in Lancashire, Yorkshire, and North Wales?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to a similar question on the 30th November to the hon. Member for Liverpool, Kirkdale (Mr. Pennefather).
