HC Deb 14 December 1943 vol 395 c1420W
Mr. Colegate

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether it is proposed to issue a White Paper on the conclusion of the present negotiations with both sides of the coalmining industry on the subject of alterations in the machinery of control and to undertake not to put them into operation until the House of Commons has had an opportunity to debate them?

Major Lloyd George

The means of strengthening the machinery of control in the coal mining industry is part of wider negotiations now in progress with the two sides of the industry. I shall take an early opportunity of reporting to the House the results of the negotiations when they are completed.
