asked the Secretary for Mines the number of relief funds in existence raised for mining disasters and the amount of money at present in existence for each separate disaster?

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to him on 17th March. The return is now in the press, and will be available very shortly.

What does the hon. Gentleman mean by "very shortly"?

In the spring.

Will the hon. and gallant Gentleman say which spring?

Will my hon. and gallant Friend use his best endeavours to get these balances amalgamated and so save considerable expenditure in the dispersal of them?

The question is about a return, not an amalgamation.
