HC Deb 31 March 1920 vol 127 c1273W
Mr. HANNA

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that sufficient coal for domestic purposes and gasworks undertakings is not being released by the coal and coke supplies committees to supply the needs of the people in the Northern area of Ireland, and that the distressing shortage of domestic or household coal in that area is only partly relieved by the additional allocation of 10,000 tons of Welsh steam coal; and will he say what steps he is taking, if any, to secure an immediate and adequate supply of household coal for the people in that area?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to-day to the hon. Member for Falls Division (Mr. Devlin).
