HC Deb 12 June 1947 vol 438 c130W
33. Colonel J. R. H. Hutchison

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power how much of the global sum payable for coalmining assets is applicable in Scotland.

Mr. Shinwell

This is a matter which has to be decided by the Central Valuation Board which has been appointed in accordance with Section 12 of the Coal Industry Nationalisation Act, 1946. The Board's decision is unlikely to be made for some considerable time.
