HC Deb 17 March 1936 vol 310 c245W
Mr. WHITELEY

asked the Secretary for Mines whether, in the proposed selling scheme for the mining industry, the miners will have representation on both district and central committees?

Captain CROOKSHANK

So far as I am aware, the proposed selling schemes do not provide specifically for representation of the mineworkers, but I understand that it has been agreed that organised coal selling shall be one of the subjects for consideration by the Joint Standing Consultative Committee representative of the colliery owners and the Mineworkers' Federation.
