§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the distress and unemployment in Hull due to the embargo on coal exports from that port; and whether some proportion of the coal allowed for export from Great Britain can be allocated to the port of Hull in the near future?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI regret that owing to the need to safeguard inland supplies of coal, it is not yet practicable to resume export of coal from the Humber ports.
