HC Deb 07 July 1925 vol 186 c234W
Mr. FORREST

asked the Secretary for Mines if, taking Germany and America, he will state the coal in stock at the pitheads, the hours of work, the weekly production of coal per man, and the coal produced per man-hour in each of these two countries?

Colonel LANE-FOX

The information at present in my possession is not sufficiently complete or up-to-date to enable me to make the comparisons asked for, but I am trying to supplement it, and will communicate later with the hon. Member.
