§ Viscount WOLMERasked the President of the Board of Trade what is going to happen under the Government's proposals in regard to the nationalisation of mineral royalties to the mining engineers and the royalty surveyors of royalty owners; and whether, in the event of their not being retained in employment under conditions as favourable as they now enjoy, they will receive any compensation?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI cannot anticipate in matters of detail the Government's proposals regarding the acquisition of coal royalties for the State; but my noble Friend may be assured that the point raised in his question is receiving careful consideration.
