While the departmental estimates had not yet been considered, he said he could reveal that this year £925,000 was provided for coal for steam plants and next year £1,000,000 would be provided. “There will be no cutting down on steam generation because of finance and this has been made clear by the Prime Minister and' Minister of Finance, Mr S. G. Holland, the Minister of Mines, Mr W. Sullivan, and the Minister of Works, Mr W. S. Goosman.” sa id Mr Dav en port.
