HC Deb 05 November 1930 vol 244 cc881-2W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Mines if he is in a position to announce the personnel of the consumers' representatives and the chairmen of panels under the Coal Mines Act, 1930?

Mr. SHINWELL

Eighteen committees of investigation will be set up under Clause 5 of the Coal Mines Act, 1930. Eleven committees have already been appointed and the constitution of seven of these has been announced in the Press. The constitution of the remaining four which have been appointed will be published immediately. I hope to be in a position to complete the appointment of all the committees at an early date.
