This is the first of a series of weekly talks on the week's proceedings in Parliament, to be given by women M.P.s. Mrs. Mary Agnes Hamilton is, of course, M.P. for Blackburn.

The history of our coal mines to which we owe so much, but about which, as a rule, we know so little, is a matter of wide concern to us,particularly at this juncture. Sir Richard Redmayne, who is giving this series of talks on how coal-mining began in Great Britain, the early conditions of the workers, mining legislation before and after the War, and the modern equipment of the collieries, was H.M. Chief Inspector of Mines from 1908 to 1920. From 1916-20 he was Assistant to the Controller of Coal Mines; in 1919 he was Assessor to the Chairman of the Coal Industry Commission, and he has also been a member of numerous governmental Committees and Commissions on mines and mining.

MR. C. R. ASHBEE is no stranger to listeners; he has broadcast several times before on various aspects of this vexing and pertinent question. One has only to watch the correspondence columns of the Press to see how rapidly the feeling is spreading that something must be done and quickly, to preserve our common heritage of rural beauty from the vandalism of unthinking commercialism. But much still remains to be done before it becomes a precept of common acceptance that, in the long run, beauty does pay.
