HC Deb 12 November 1940 vol 365 c1612W
Sir R. Ross

asked the Secretary for Mines in what other area in the United Kingdom besides Northern Ireland household coal is costing more than £3 a ton?

Mr. Grenfell

In London, Devon and Cornwall, certain parts of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, the prices of household coal have risen above £3 per ton, and there are probably other districts in a similar position in respect of which I have no particulars immediately at hand.
