§ 77. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he has considered the case of an ex-miner who wished to return to the pit, particulars of which have been sent to him, who. because of the difficulties in obtaining tools, clothing, soap and extra food rations and delays and loss of time in securing these necessities, has preferred to return to unemployment benefit; and what action he is taking to minimise these inconveniences.
§ Mr. ShinwellI have asked the National Coal Board to look into the matter.
