South Wales Coal Mines (Absenteeism)

Mr. GOULD
asked the Secretary for Mines if he will state for the South Wales  district the number per week of men who have disqualified themselves by absenteeism from receiving the subsistence wage; and if he can give the number of men who have similarly disqualified themselves in other districts?

Lieut.-Colonel LANE-FOX
I have no official information on this subject.
