HC Deb 07 July 1980 vol 988 cc43-4W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what effect the halving of the British Steel Corporation's steel production at Llanwern and Port Talbot will have upon the coking coal output of Welsh collieries; and what will be the number of mines affected.

Mr. John Moore

The National Coal Board is still discussing these matters with the British Steel Corporation and has not yet reached a final view on them; though at the same time it is also actively seeking alternative markets.
