HC Deb 24 March 1920 vol 127 c443W
Sir F. YOUNG

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps are being taken to provide the rationed quantity of coal required at High worth, Wilts; and what is the reason for the persistent shortage which has been experienced in that locality?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

Steps have been taken to supply a quantity of emergency coal to Highworth, and the question of the ordinary supplies has been taken up with the District Coal and Coke Supplies Committee responsible for the area. As regards the last part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on the 22nd March to the hon. and gallant Member for Finchley (Colonel Newman).
