§ 56. Mr. Eadieasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many miners he estimates will be displaced as a result of his decision to allow oil fuel to displace coal in power stations.
§ Mr. RossMy consent to the conversion of the Braehead station from coal to oil-burning has been given on clean air grounds. Because of the present coal supply and demand position in Scotland no consequential loss of mining jobs is envisaged.
