§ Mr. RobensI would refer my hon. Friend to the National Coal Board's Annual Report for 1948. Since the publication of this Report further important developments have occurred which will no doubt be set out in the Report for 1949. My right hon. Friend will certainly take the first suitable opportunity to make a statement on this very important matter.
