HC Deb 14 December 1933 vol 284 c558W
Mr. TINKER

asked the President of the Board of Trade the number of colliery companies which have gone into liquidation since 1925; and will he give separate figures for Lancashire and South Wales?

Dr. BURGIN

I regret that the information asked for by the hon. Member could not be obtained except with an amount of labour and expense which could not be justified.
