As my right hon. Friend stated in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Bosworth (Sir W. Edge) on 9th May, he intends shortly to issue a White Paper giving full statistics of production, absenteeism, etc., in the coal-mining industry, and I would ask my hon. Friend to await its publication, when all the information available on this subject will be given.
