HC Deb 12 July 1927 vol 208 c1962W
Mr. J. BROWN

asked the Secretary for Mines for the last six months for which figures are available, the output of coal per man in the collieries of France, Belgium and Spain, respectively?

Colonel LANE FOX

For the six months ending April, 1927, the figures were: France 81¾ tons and Belgium 78½ tons. I have no recent figures for Spain, but in 1924 the rate was about 65 tons per half-year.
