PLIES 3eduction sumption. 1-42. various reference: P. (41) 27th conclusions, mute 1.) 1, The Committee had before them a Memorandum by the President of the Board of Trade covering a Note by the Secretary for Mines (L,P,(41) 108) dealing with the points raised at the Meeting of the Committee on the 30th June. THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE said that with the present labour force there was no assurance that we could obtain a weekly production of 41/4 million tons, He had discussed the matter with the Minister of Labour, and as it was clear that the voluntary appeal to ex-miners to return to the industry had not produced an adequate response, the latter had now issued a direction that certain categories of coal-miners new employed in other industries should return to the pits.
