HC Deb 16 December 1968 vol 775 c291W
126. Mr. Monro

asked the Minister of Power whether he is satisfied that sufficient quantities of domestic and industrial coal, including smokeless fuels, will be available in the Borders and Eastern Dumfriesshire following the complete closure of the Waverley railway line in the spring of 1969; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeson

The National Coal Board is aware of this intended closure and is making alternative supply arrangements. I have asked the Chairman to write to the hon. Member.
