HC Deb 05 July 1973 vol 859 cc181-2W
Mr. Adam Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he proposes to bring forward early legislation on mining subsidence damage compensation following his promised state- ment; and when that statement may be expected.

Mr. Emery

I must ask my hon, Friend to await the statement. I am sorry that I cannot forecast precisely when it will be.
