HC Deb 07 August 1947 vol 441 cc184-5W
73. Mr. T. Brown

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will, in co-operation with the Minister of Transport, have a survey made in the mining areas where it is already known that mineworkers have to travel long distances from their home to the pithead, with the object of providing quicker and better travelling facilities for men travelling these long distances.

Mr. Shinwell

The possibility of improving miners' transport facilities is under constant review by the Regional Standing Joint Committees, comprising the Regional Transport Commissioners and representatives of the National Coal Board and the National Union of Mineworkers.
