HC Deb 05 November 1934 vol 293 cc661-2W
Sir R. GOWER

asked the Secretary for Mines the number of conveyors in use at the coal face in South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire, respectively, the number driven by compressed air, and the number driven by electrical power; and what proportion of the outputs of these two areas, respectively, has been carried by conveyors during the past five years?

Mr. E. BROWN

The information is as follows:

the United Kingdom and Iraq under which the ownership of the Iraq railways would be transferred to the Iraq Government and vested in a corporation before 3rd October, 1933, which date was subsequently deferred by agreement to 3rd October, 1934?

Sir J. SIMON

The answer is in the negative. The period for the enactment of this legislation has, however, recently been extended by mutual agreement for a further year, that is up to 3rd October, 1935.
