HC Deb 05 March 1957 vol 566 c27W
Mr. Mason

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many acres of land are being annually reclaimed by the removal of colliery spoil heaps, giving the figures for each county.

Mr. H. Brooke

Information on the complete removal of colliery tips is not available; the instances of this are thought to be few. But the cases of reclamation by levelling and seeding or tree planting known to my Department are being collected, and I will write to the hon. Member when I have the results.
