Mr. E. J. Williams

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he will state the output of the South Wales and Monmouthshire coalfield, the number employed on the coalface and as datal labour, respectively, for the years 1913 and each year to date?

Captain Crookshank

Particulars of the output of saleable coal in South Wales and Monmouthshire for each of the years 1913 to 1937 are contained in Table 6 of the Statistical Appendix to my Department's Seventeenth Annual Report. The answer to the second part of the question is covered by the answer I have just given to the hon. Member's previous question.

Mr. R. J. Taylor

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he will state the number of persons employed on the coalface, also the number employed in and about the mines other than face-workers, for the year 1920, and each year to date?

Captain Crookshank

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Ogmore (Mr. E. J. Williams) to-day.
