Former MP for Consett
64. asked the Secretary for Mines whether he is aware that public utility concerns are making long-term contracts for the purchase of coal; and whether, in forthoming legislation, he will see that any forestalling against increased prices is negatived by a clause making them applicable to existing contracts?
Can the Secretary for Mines undertake to give a warning to those concerns which are engaging in this reprehensible practice that they will not be allowed to get away with it at the expense of the mining industry?
45. asked the Prime Minister whether, in connection with the imposition of sanctions under the Covenant of the League of Nations, provision will be made for compensating the industries adversely affected, so that sanctions imposed as part of a national policy may be borne by the nation as a whole and not by any section or sections?
