§ Mr. HAYDAYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the inadequate supply of coal received in the district of Willesden for domestic use; whether he is aware that a number of coal depots have been closed down for days owing to the whole of their stocks having been exhausted; that this district has a population of over 170,000, and that a large number of families are suffering hardship even with the favourable climatic conditions; and whether he will have inquiries made with a view to the necessary supplies being forwarded to this area?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI am aware that difficulties have been experienced in providing adequate supplies of coal to Willesden, but arrangements have now been made to supplement the ordinary supplies.
