HC Deb 10 November 1942 vol 383 c2305W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he will consider publishing twice monthly m the newspapers the target figure laid down and the actual figure attained for coal raised in each of the districts into which the mines of the country are divided?

Major Lloyd George

As my hon. Friend is aware, I am already publishing four-weekly figures of national production and of the performance of each district against its standard tonnage, laid down for the purpose of the output bonus scheme. It would not be in the public interest to publish regular figures for each district at shorter intervals than a month.
