HC Deb 20 October 1952 vol 505 cc64-5W
Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power how many pit ponies were brought to the surface this summer while the mines were closed for holiday or other purposes; and how many were left down the mines for the whole of the period of such holidays.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

This is a matter of day-to-day administration of the National Coal Board, and I am asking the Board to write to the hon. Member.
