HC Deb 26 June 1931 vol 254 c771W
Major GLYN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of the situation in the shale-oil industry of Scotland and the threatened closing down of plant which will involve the loss of employment to over 2,000 men, if he will consider whether any action can be taken to render assistance to this industry?

Mr. SHINWELL

I have been asked to reply; the matter is receiving consideration.
