Colonel Burton
asked the Secretary for Mines when the requirements of coal and coke needed in the Wickford district of Essex will be available?
Mr. Lloyd
Owing to the serious depletion of stocks earlier this year, the demand for coal in the Wickford district still exceeds supply. I fully expect, however, that supplies will very shortly be equal to current requirements.
