§ 80. Mr. Masonasked the Paymaster-General how many uneconomic mines are still being worked by the National Coal Board; and in what areas of the Board.
§ Sir I. HorobinThe Board is at all times operating some pits at a profit and others at a loss. Pits frequently move from one category to the other and no useful conclusion can be drawn from the numbers of pits working at a particular level of loss at any given time. The 101W colliery profit and loss accounts of the Board's areas are published with the Board's Annual Report and Accounts.
