HC Deb 19 November 1926 vol 199 c2110W
Mr. A. R. KENNEDY

asked the Secretary for Mines whether his attention has been drawn to the difficulty in obtaining a sufficient supply of wagons caused by the use of wagons by utility companies and others for the storage of foreign and other coal, and whether he is taking steps, so far as possible, to remedy this state of affairs?

Colonel LANE FOX

One or two instances have been brought to my notice where there has been some delay in unloading wagons, and on representations being made the discharge has been expedited. I do not think that undue delay is general.
