HC Deb 16 December 1943 vol 395 c1717W
Mr. Bowles

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power how many tons of coal were not produced during November, 1943, owing to the shortage of railway coal wagons at the pit head?

Major Lloyd George

Colliery returns show that for the four weeks ended 27th November, 1943, approximately 50,000 tons were not produced owing to loss of working time caused by shortage of wagons at the pit-head.
