HC Deb 01 August 1939 vol 350 c2187W
Mr. Jenkins

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he is aware that of the total quantity of coal imported into France, the amount from this country is far less than France would need in the event of an emergency arising; and whether any arrangements have been made to supply more coal to France should the need arise?

Mr. Lloyd

Yes, Sir. The answer to both parts of the question is in the affirmative.
