Mr. E., Shinwell neked if the Admiralty were keeping in close contact with the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in this matter of promoting the use of pulverised coal.
Mr. Bridgeman said that the Admiralty were keeping in close touch, and they wished to know anything that could be known on the subject. Primarily; however, it was the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research that was directing the inquiry, not merely) for the Navy, but for the mercan- tile marine and in the interests of the coal industry.
