HC Deb 14 May 1981 vol 4 c306W
Q23. Mr. Higgins

asked the Prime Minister, pursuant to her reply to the right hon. Member for Worthing, Official Report, 28 April, when she understood a letter from the chairman of the National Coal Board was dispatched, if she is satisfied that this case has been dealt with with suitable expedition, in view of the fact that the right hon. Member has not received the reply.

The Prime Minister

I am sorry that I gave my right hon. Friend incorrect information in an earlier answer. I understand that the chairman of the National Coal Board did not sign his letter to my right hon. Friend until 30 April. I understand that the chairman of the National Coal Board has now offered to arrange a meeting to pursue the points raised by my right hon. Friend.
