HC Deb 10 July 1930 vol 241 c646W
Mr. SULLIVAN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if his attention has been drawn to an advertisement for coal inserted by the education committee of Lanarkshire that stipulates that offers for anthracite coal must come from collieries outside the county, although the miners producing anthracite coal in Lanarkshire are only working three days a week; and what steps does he propose to take in connection with this matter?

Mr. JOHNSTON

My right hon. Friend has made inquiry into this matter and understands that the education committee have now arranged that contractors may quote for any suitable fuel from collieries in Lanarkshire or elsewhere.
