HC Deb 13 March 1930 vol 236 cc1514-5W
Colonel CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Secretary for Mines the pre-War and present day deductions from miners' wages that are made on account of explosives in the Northumberland coalfield?

Mr. TURNER

Returns made in 1920 and 1926 showed that deductions made for explosives, lamps, tools and tool-sharpening amounted to 10d. to 11d. per week per person employed. I have no separate information for the cost of explosives alone, nor have I any comparable information for the pre-War period.
