HC Deb 07 July 1925 vol 186 c234W
Mr. FORREST

asked the Secretary for Mines if he will state the coal produced, and the number of man-hours worked, in England, Belgium, and France, respectively?

Colonel LANE-FOX

During the first four months of 1925, 86,236,000 tons of coal were produced in Great Britain, 7,846,000 tons in Belgium, and 19,974,000 tons in France (including the production of the Saar coalfield). I regret that I have not the figures of man-hours worked.
