HC Deb 22 February 1940 vol 357 c1568W
Mr. Ammon

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he has considered a resolution passed by the local fuel overseers in the south-eastern district of the London division, calling attention to the desperate position of the inhabitants of their districts owing to the shortage of coal; and what steps is he taking to meet the need?

Mr. Lloyd

Yes, Sir, and with regard to the second part of the Question I would refer the hon. Member to the statement made yesterday by my right hon. and gallant Friend the Minister of Transport.
