§ Sir W. Darlingasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what quantity of peat remains uncollected for lack of transport in Germany; and what steps are being taken to secure this valuable fuel reserve for civilian uses.
§ Mr. MayhewIt is hoped that no peat will remain uncollected at the end of the cutting season. The target for this year is 2,000,000 tons of peat, as against 1,350,000 tons cut and transported last year; every effort is being made to obtain the necessary machinery and other requirements.
