HC Deb 19 December 1947 vol 445 c465W
Colonel Clarke

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what were the actual earnings per week of coalface workers in each area in Great Britain in June, 1939, and December, 1947.

Mr. Gaitskell

Information about actual earnings per week of coalface workers in each area in Great Britain in June, 1939, and December, 1947, is not available. I understand that information about the earnings of underground workers in the first and second quarters of 1947 will shortly be published by the National Coal Board in their statement of costs, proceeds and profits in the coalmining industry.
