Lee, of Burnley, a firm engaged on 70 per cent. war work, about which correspondence and interviews began in February, are now receiving sufficient coal to maintain full employment; and whether, following their willingness to adopt suggestions of the Mines Department technical adviser regarding new boilers, they can be guaranteed supplies of the type of fuel suggested?
§ Mr. GrenfellSupplies of the type of coal for which this company has contracted are at present sufficient to maintain full employment. If these supplies should fail at any time, adequate supplies of alternative types of fuel are also available.
