HC Deb 28 November 1950 vol 481 c121W
65. Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in the light of the present coal situation, he has made a fresh estimate of the increases in output to be expected from certain major industries to meet the needs of rearmament.

Mr. Gaitskell

The steps being taken by the Government to meet the threat of a coal shortage are expressly designed to safeguard coal supplies for industry.
