asked the Secretary for Mines the colliery districts normally supplying the counties south and south-west of London; and whether, at the present moment, coal supplies are still being drawn from these sources?

Most of the larger colliery districts, with the possible exception of those in the North Midlands and North-West, normally send coal to the South and South-Western Counties. Coal continues to be drawn from these sources, but not necessarily in the same proportion as before the war.
