HC Deb 11 November 1930 vol 244 c1498W
Mr. HOFFMAN

asked the Secretary for Mines how many working coal miners have passed the board for mining examination for managers or under-managers from 1912 to 1926; and how many mine-surveying men have passed for managers or under-managers during the same period?

Mr. SHINWELL

I regret that these statistics are not available, but the matter is dealt with generally in the recently published report of the Departmental Committee appointed to inquire into the qualifications and recruitment of mine officials.
