HC Deb 04 March 1968 vol 760 c37W
Mr. Tudor Watkins

asked the Minister of Power how many of the collieries proposed for closure in Wales have so far been considered for assistance under Section 5 of the Coal Industry Act, 1967.

Mr. Marsh

The National Coal Board will be compensated for the postponement of closure from 1967 of two collieries in Wales, Hafod and Cefn Coed. All closures due in Wales during the first quarter of this year have been examined against the background of the 1967 Act.
