Mr. BARKER

asked the Secretary for Mines the names of the collieries in Monmouthshire that have been re-opened since September, 1928, to the latest, available date, the number of men employed normally at these collieries, and the number at present employed?

Commodore KING

The number of collieries in Monmouthshire which were closed on 31st August last, or have closed subsequently for at least a month, and have since re-opened, is 13, employing 7,200 wage-earners at date of closing and 5,200 wage-earners at 2nd February, 1929. I will send the hon. Member a list of them.
