The number of collieries in Great Britain which were closed on 31st July last, or have closed subsequently for at least a month and have since re-opened, is 142, employing 28,100 workpeople. I will send my hon. and gallant Friend a list of them. In addition, 38 new pits, employing 917 workpeople, have opened. I regret that I have no information beyond that appearing in the Press with regard to pits which the owners contemplate re-opening.
