Part of Civil Estimates, 1929. – in the House of Commons at on 24 April 1929.
Hon. Members say there is a good deal of English capital there Some of it is French, some American, some Polish and some German, but we are quite unable to discover any English capital. It does not make it any less disgraceful, but all the more disgraceful, if British capital is invested not only in an industry which pays such very poor wages but in one which is dealing a serious blow at our own coal industry.
