HC Deb 19 December 1946 vol 431 c416W
Major Lloyd

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if it is intended to continue the publication of the statistics of the coalmining industry in all districts after the vesting date.

Mr. Shinwell

Statistics for districts will continue to be published by this Department after the vesting, date but it is possible that, in agreement with the National Coal Board, the areas comprised in the districts may later be modified to fit the Board's divisional organisation.
