HC Deb 29 January 1942 vol 377 c953W
Colonel Burton

asked the Secretary for Mines what steps he has taken, or proposes to take, in order that the Betteshanger Colliery may be brought into production again?

Mr. Grenfell

I have visited the colliery in company with the Secretary of the Mineworkers' Federation of Great Britain and have met both parties to the dispute in negotiations for settlement. I am glad to say that work has been resumed on terms agreed between the parties.
