HC Deb 11 December 1922 vol 159 c2387W
Mr. EDWARDS

asked the Prime Minister whether, seeing that coal owners cannot agree amongst themselves to fix minimum prices for the sale of coal which would ensure a living wage to those engaged in the industry, he will bring in a Bill fixing a legal minimum price below which coal should not be sold?

The PRIME MINISTER

Such a proposal as the hon. Member suggests is, I believe, impracticable.
