HC Deb 20 March 1940 vol 358 cc2018-9W
Mr. Thorne

asked the Secretary for Mines what is the position in connection with the shortage of coal in Greater London?

Mr. Lloyd

I have received a report on the domestic coal position in Greater London to-day. On the whole it has improved, although some districts are still short of their requirements. I hope that after the end of the month the position will gradually revert to normal.
