HC Deb 21 May 1935 vol 302 c935
20. Mr. TINKER

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he is now in a position to make a statement concerning colliery pit heaps; and whether the colliery owners have made any suggestions as to how they intend to deal with them so as to prevent them getting on fire?

The SECRETARY for MINES (Mr. Ernest Brown)

I understand from the Mining Association that they still have this matter under consideration and expect to be able to communicate with me again in the course of the next dew weeks.
