§ 32. Mr. E. J. Williamsasked the Secretary for Mines whether he will take steps to bring about a restart of Raglan Colliery, Heolycyw, Bridgend, Glamorgan, which ceased working last year and rendered idle 600 persons?
§ The Secretary for Mines (Captain Crookshank)The previous owners of this mine, the Raglan Collieries, Limited, went into liquidation some time ago, and the assets of the company were purchased from the receivers by the present owners, the Meiros Collieries (1931), Limited. I understand that there is a possibility of the mine being reopened later on, but that at present it is waterlogged. I am afraid that I have no powers in the matter.
