§ Mr. KELLYasked the Secretary for Mines if he will state the number of quarries in Great Britain in operation in June, 1928, and June, 1929?
§ Mr. TURNERIn 1928 the number of quarries under the Quarries Act (i.e., quarries more than 20 feet deep in any part) at which work was in progress at 623W some time during the year" was about 5,300. No figures are available for 1929 as information with regard to quarries is only collected annually by my Department.
